7 deadly sins; 7 deadly monsters; 7 graphic designers' typography tips

The Typography project (part 1) came to an end today.

We were asked to create "7 deadly type sins".

We actually got down 9!

1. Stacking letters
2. Imbalance of negative space
3. Multicoloured words
4. Comic Sans
5. Bold, italics and underlined together
6. More than 3 fonts on one design
7. Microsoft Word Art
8. Illegibility (but not necessarily because legibility does not equal communicativity)
9. Obvious emphasis (strange emphasis can be intriguing)

I found these gorgeous pieces today on behance.com  by Peter Tanuwidjaja

It makes me want to do more illustration.
