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.

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.

Ed Fella






Ed Fella has a wide variety of techniques that he uses for his graphic design work. I really like the hand drawn quality that these particular works have and the use of the watercolours too.

Affectation


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.

The combination of simple line drawings and the different watercolour techniques, really brings these artworks to life!
