French Cardboard, Clothespins, and a Thumbprint

Came across some really lovely type treatments from the French studio, My Beautiful. The first is a cafe name constructed from cardboard and photographed; the second is a great mixed face font paired with a vibrant pattern created from the simple illustration of a clothespin; the third is a swirling, multi-lingual thumb print... Enjoy.

Project Two: Overprinting Inspiration

As you begin processing the idea of overprinting your poster series, this website might be fun to play with. Go here and click the pages on and off (on the left) to see how the density of information changes: what you can read, what you can kind-of read, and what you cannot read at all.
