Just like other elements of the design, typography also plays a big role in the overall impact of the advertisement. It explains in words the point being illustrated by the graphics so that the audience would understand the meaning of the symbolisms, or the otherwise abstract concepts on the advertisement. This is done so that, the audience can understand the message of the advertisement and from there, be convinced to take the line of action enunciated or encouraged by the ad. From this perspective therefore, typography in advertising is intended to help the audience interpret the overall message of ad quickly and correctly. Towards this end, artist do not arbitrarily put texts into their designs but instead they go to some extra length to fashion the letters and words so that their appearance, visually supports the idea of the design; and they do so in countless ways limited only by their imagination and skill.
Here in this article, we are showcasing some of the examples by which typography are integrated in an artistic, clever and impressive manner. All of these examples are nicely done thus effectively nailing the point of the advertisement design in an attractive and attention-grabbing method. You may ask, looks great but how do I create these? One option is to use Photoshop or Illustrator and here some tutorials that show steps to design text effects can be helpful. Check the examples below out and be inspired at the way typography is used in different ways and scenarios. Enjoy!

Topography makes a huge difference actually. The image on “Peter MacCallum cancer centre” is quite creative and while I was browsing through the images, that is the one I stopped at. Quite impressive, how topography makes a lot of difference in advertising.
One of best inspirational collections on the internet. Beside few very noisy examples other are perfect.
