Rebus/Icon


Google is probably the best to look when you need an example of a rebus. They make one for their logo on pretty much every possible holiday. This one I thought was very clever. It was on Ghandi's birthday and his face represents to the G. I think they did a really great job of creating the image so that you can clearly see the G but it doesnt distort the picture whatsoever.

Inspirational


I was looking for examples of inspirational type and I thought this was a funny example of it. This poster was hanging up in my friends dorm room. I think this works as inspirational type because the tracking on it makes it feel really drawn out and it makes me feel like it really will be a challenge when I look at this picture.

Good Type Goes Bad

I was thinking what a good example of good type goes bad would be and I thought I would check my movie collection for either Trajan or big red type. Of course I found both. In pretty much all of the comedies I had this type was used so I figured it would be a good example for type that is good but way overused. They definitly need to come up with a new design and font for movies.
