• Good Type

The Type here fits well with the image, clear and bold

Good type for sport, and nice use of color on blue background and association between word and number

Clear type that fits well with business image, white font on red background really stands out too

White on red background stands out, also the type style goes really well with the architectural design of the building

Green and white complement each other on the black background, also the type fits well with the business logo

• Bad Type 

Horrible, i can't understand the need for the ugly crossbars on the A's and the arms (i think) on the E's

Plain and ugly, not very inviting for a pet shop.  The type is consistent here but their main logo is a different  type

Can't really understand this except the work "sick"

Terrible colour, faded and looks like a kid sprayed it

I don't think the font is that bad here, it's just the background that is over powering and makes it hard to read and takes away your attention from the writing, there's no real focus i think

I thought it was fitting to try and have a picture of a korrigan for my theme, for
anyone that doesn't know what a korrigan is its a mythical creature (bad fairy)

Its great that google and yahoo now have added supported for Creative Commons copyright searches.
I did quit a bit of work in photoshop to get the image to look how i wanted it.  I then created a
speech bubble coming from the birds mouth and filled it with a tag cloud full of words with what i came across
during the design module. 

I put a gradient in the background to give a seperated feel about it and i chose the colour orange to give the
korrigan a friendly look and feel

With the font i wanted to choose a font type that was somewhat curved, rounded and smooth like the Korrigan's hair, boats etc.. to give it a more uniformed feel

I still feel the speech bubble lets it down a bit and probably should have been a natural object of some sort, anyhow its done now :-)

Hi Guys,

Once i decided on what quote i wanted to use i identified the words that really stood out to me that should be emphasized.  I decided to make all the text that didn't need emphasizing a font that was easy read and looked good for poster design (DIM Medium).  For the emphasize word "PAST" i used Bookman Old Style and added a pattern overlay to make it look older, and i also added the word "PAST" repeated behind it but fading way to add effect.  With the emphasized word "FUTURE" i used a modern futuristic font called Aldo's Nova and made it big and bold.
