80+ Very inspiring uses of Typography

Introduction

In this article you will find pure typo inspiration. In the first section I have put together a large compilation of designs that use Typographic elements to create images. The technique may be useful in some situations but I think is normally seen on posters and different types of printed ads. In the second section you’ll find Typographically overloaded websites. A smart and well aligned use of typography on websites can really make a difference and here is plenty of inspiration on how it can be done. Use index to jump if you want to start with the websites.

Crazy and brilliant designs!

One question tough: the link for bbb (bread and butter) doesn\’t work and it looks very much like this project: http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Adobe/92748

can you give more details please?

@omg you’re right the link is broken. Can’t figure out why and I can’t find the image source. I also searched bbb logo on google image search and looked through 55 pages… no sign of it. Guess for now we have to stick to the image and see if another reader could help us out…
It is true that it looks like Stefan Lucuts Adobe project. May be the reason why it has been removed.

Wow, that’s a very nice collection. I love typography artwork – not websites , just artwork.

Can you point to some tutorials about typography artwork ? Here’s one :

Great images. I always think of Saul Bass & Carlson when I see text effects like these.
Textorizer is a great free tool to create a text image effects.
