Headlines & Book covers

. Interesting use of Kerning to draw the attention of the eye

. Using one letter as the main focus of a page makes a bold statement and keeps the design simple

. Use of illustrated letters is an interesting composition tool- provides a simple and effective focal point for the page

. I love this book cover created from enlarged punctuation

. Both these designs are very clean, simple and minimialistic

Page Composition

. Nice use of negative space in this composition- leaves most of the image to the viewer’s imagination

. I love the technique of removing half or part of a word, it adds interest to an ordinary piece of work by removing part of or all of the legibility- this style reminds me of Wim Crouwel’s work
