This set of typography work by graphic designer Ruslan Khasanov from Russia exhibits the results of various experiments with colored or clear liquids on a variety of surfaces. I particularly love the pixel distortion works on the computer monitor, and how the RGB colored stripes from the screen are magnified and distorted by the liquid texture. Very cool experimentation.

Swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer Mike Joyce, owner of Stereotype Design in New York City. Drawing from his love of punk rock and Swiss modernism, two movements that have (almost) nothing to do with one another, Mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters. Each design is set in lowercase berthold akzidenz-grotesk medium (not helvetica). every single one of these shows actually happened.

Everyday for an entire year, Jonas Buntenbruch from Germany completed a design per day as a way to perfect and explore his graphic designing skills. There is wide range of work on his website aptly named “DONE” with 366 pieces of work. We included some of our favorites making use of typography below. Some of you digital artists might also like to check out his doneload page, with useful tools for graphic design resources
As an experiment, I grabbed some photos of vintage automobile logos from beastpieces.com and applied a vintage effect (tutorial here) to them in photoshop. I think the effect brings out the dated quality of the logos and the vehicles themselves. Some images came out better than others, but it was fun way to apply the vintage effect technique.

Graphic Artist, Leandro Senna stepped out of his normal element of designing with the computer, and took a more hands on approach with this project “Bob Dylan’s Hand Lettering Experience” in which he uses unique pen and pencil typography to illustrate Bob Dylan’s lyrics.
About the project, Senna writes:
Inspired by Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, where he flips cards with the lyrics as the song plays, I decided to recreate those cards with handmade type. I ended up doing all the lyrics, and not just some of the words, as Dylan did.
There are 66 cards done in one month during my spare time using only pencil, black tint pens and brushes. The challenge was not to use the computer, no retouching was allowed. Getting a letter wrong meant starting the page over.

Barcelona based design studio Lo Siento created this inventive typography piece for Japan’s +81 Magazine cover. These photos show the process used to spell out the words “Next Creativity” by injecting bubble wrap with a colored liquid, (food coloring?). It appears that the nice lighting effect was created by photographing the bubble wrap outdoors against a body of water.
