Week 13- Type as art


For this weeks journal I will be talking about type as an art and how it can affect layouts. For this weeks example I choose a dollar bill; simple, but complex at the same time. Although much of the surface is covered by pictures the images would mean nothing without the type that accompanies them. Also the design as a whole would loose a lot of it's impact. Much of the type is too small to see in the picture, but it ornaments almost every-part of the bill. These subtle parts of the dollar are part of what give it its official look and feel.
