Material Type



I really like this photo. It has a lot of different type going on. There is hand-drawn type, materials, and already made type. The first two letters are hand written, and I like that they are both different. A pen is used to make an "L" as well as a rubber band. At first I saw three L's, but then realized the rubber band is for a full "L." I like that the "O" has Bart Simpson hanging onto it. The "T" is similar to the "L" by having pens used to make the shape. I like the scissors as a "Y" it's really interesting. The "P" on the iPhone is pretty cool, and I like the "O" button and the message. A message within a message is always fun to find. I think using material and objects as letters are not created as much, because it does take away the purpose of type fonts. I do enjoy seeing them every now and then. I wonder if I should spell something made out of a certain material...
