  • Alex, 29 June 2008

    There are some cool effects on the text, however I wouldn’t call these typographic posters. This is more letter art than typography. Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but effects generally aren’t welcome in the field of typography. It’s more of a dedication to the beauty and discipline of letter forms as they are. I would put these more under graphic art than type related.

    I would say #14 is the closest to typographic. Although there are reflections and such, you get a nice close up of the main bodies of the letters where you can see the serif details and other nice curves.

    Either way, some cool stuff.

  • Kloche, 30 June 2008

    You are so right about having patience regarding that grass effect. That tut took me 5 days. But the result and the tips I picked up were more than worth it.
