let's sing a song in type

For this week's assignment for out typography class, we had to illustrate song lyrics or poems using type. We were allowed to use photographs or create shapes/images using type, but no illustrations. I never had a chance to work with photographs in this type class, so really wanted incorporate my ideas for type with photos. Here are the ones I made.

"All you need is love" - by The Beatles

"Moon River" - by Andy Williams

p.s. - Yes I needed to extend Audrey's dress to create space for the type...
p.p.s. - What is "my huckleberry friend"??

Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks Fifth Avenue always have interesting window displays - very artsy, innovative, and fun. I also love their campaigns and designs for their shopping bags. They are very memorable pieces.



Marian Bantjes's "Want it" campaign seemed to be a great success. She's amazing!

Have you seen this before?

Laser cut technology made possible the creation of awesome typographic scarfs designed by Little Factory studio from Hong Kong. These ultrasuede scarves from MicroFactory are laser-cut with either upper-case, lower-case, or numeric characters in a close pattern.

Cereal Type

We had a fun quiz in our typography class. Our teacher gave us a list of cereals, and we had to spell out the name of one of them using hand-drawn letters in about 90 min. The letters must not resemble the existing brand. Since I don't eat cereals and did not grow up in the U.S., I did not know any of the brand names and their cereals... Lucky Charms was the only one that gave me some sort of inspiration, and here's what I did.

Hand-drawn letters are fun :)

"leaving it better than we found it"

For the week 6 assignment for Marc's poster class, we had to re-design an exciting poster in our neighborhood. I found this sad B&W poster about the chocolate factory tour on campus..

Going to chocolate factories is like magic. It needs COLOR and FUN style so attract people's attention, so here's what I did.

B for BlackLetter

I had to make a little poster (6"x10") for my typography class. I was assigned to create one for the letter B - for BlackLetter, and here's what I did. The B is hand-drawn :)

Fire Poi Typography

This person (design student) did this for his portfolio. I found it on Flickr.

He says "It took about 15 hours, in 2 sessions, and every letter had about
30-50 takes until i got i right (and lot's of gasoline!)."

ABC shoe

This image has proven that I was right. Strappy heel sandals are the best shoes ever made in history.
I found it from a very cute website for fashion/design inspiration - SevenEight

letter patterns

The 3rd assignment for the experimental typography class was to create patterns using hand-drawn letters. I had to create one regular pattern and one random pattern. I was originally going to use my initials H&E only but ended up drawing more than two letters and using them all :)

The random pattern took me so long to create because I couldn't repeat anything.


I created two regular patterns! I really enjoyed drawing letters by hand, so this project was a lot of fun.

Toni Morrison

We had to create a poster for Black Hisrtory for Marc's class, and I was assigned to create one about Toni Morrison. Since I am not that familiar with American literature, I didn't know who she was.. But I found her work quite interesting after I did my research.

Here's my poster.
I kind of wanted to stay away from putting a quote on a poster, but I really had to include this one - "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it." - Toni Morrison. That's exactly what she did!
