In my search for something to post to the blog i actually found these classic fonts posters that are very amusing. They were made by Gary Nicholson. I certainly got a chuckle out of them, but that aside, i like how simple they are, which is probably the reasons why they are so successful, puns aside. What do you guys think?
So fun! There's some good ones on the website to that made me chuckle! But I agree, aside of them being funny they are successful and simple. It doesn't have too much or too little. Its just right. They know how to pick the right colors, weight, size and where to put the emphasis!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I first became aware of Grotesk Akzidenz... I said to myself what a strange looking name for a font and assumed it was some ego-centered designer's full name. Then, one day I tried to pronounce the name... and that even took me awhile before I chuckled out loud. It's nice to know that designers can have a sense of humor. Another example of strange-placed humor are the "easter eggs" that programmers, out of boredom probably, have hidden inside some Adobe software (like InDesign). Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you are talking about but now im interested, so i have to look it up.
DeleteLet me know what you find out... there might be new easter eggs hidden there by now.
