Today I was just browsing the Internet trying to find things to put on to my blog when I came across an artist Jessica Tresser on ilovetypography.com it then led onto a blog called for the love of type which is a really interesting blog containing artists work that they have done using typography, not all of them have been made by Jessica other artists to which haven't been mentioned on the site.

Here are a few that I liked - 

This was an installation created by Jessica, hand cut helvetica letters. I thought it was an interesting and different way to use type.

This is a window art I found again on for the love of type still no artist was mentioned but I like the layout of the type how its jumbled together making it really colourful and bright and making it stand out.


These posters were for the Write Here, Right Now Campaign which I'm not to sure what its for all I know is the name of it. They were placed in bus stops which were later converted to temporary writing spaces including whiteboards and magnetic writing walls. A permanent black marker was used to write on the skin, the font is of different pen weights and is easy to read, different typefaces have been used which I like to show a difference instead of all the same font.
This reminded very much of when I was writing with ink on skin in the First Year that is also another reason why I chose it.
