Letring - Tania Ferreira




I really like how just one letter has been used for the whole composition and the variety has been created by altering the sizes and rotating each element.

Anairb Black - We are made of words


The way this artwork has been composed is so intricate and the way the words form the image of the girl and the different tones looks amazing up close and as a whole.

Takashi Okada [ Hybrid ]




Japanese Style Graphic Design



I like the contrast between black and white in these designs and how effective it looks with a limited colour palette.

Steve Scott




These designs are very bold and the use of simple graphics and colours makes them most effective.

Ala Ebtekar & Yael Kanarek



This artwork is very facinating because you can see how the words have been placed on top of each other to create depth and texture.

Love the contrast and colours.

Untitled



Use of specific words to create certain parts of the body. The text has a way of drawing your eye from the arm right through to the finger tips.

Glyph Emotion - Spider Shark [deviant art]


What interested me most about this image, was the use of text in a way that creates a sense of chaos.

I love how these images create a connection between the fake and real world. The black background draws you in to the work. They also have a real sense of texture.

Ivar Hagendoorn - Arabesque Graphic Design


Ivar Hagendoorn uses Arabic text as a starting point and transforms them into beautiful graphic design pieces. I especially like the combination or red and black in the first composition.

The colours used have a strong impact and the way these images have been composed is very interesting. I love the amount of detail each piece has which then makes up the whole composition.

Richard Sweeney creates these wonderful forms out of a basic material - paper!

These paper art pieces are so intricate and the level of detail in them is facinating to look at.

Chris Burden - Urban Light Installation




For my studio project I looked at different installation works and found this one of interest because of the way that the lights transform the space and experience for the visitor.

Bruce Munro - Field of Light





This installation is one of my favourites which I came across when researching lighting and how they can be used on their own and then as a whole and how these two conditions are quite different.

Jordy Fu - Cloud Lamps






When researching different ways of creating forms and space I found these beautiful lamps. They are all handmade from a single sheet of paper. I was amazed by the level of detail and the lovely shadows these pieces created!
