Motion Typography


This is an awesome example of motion typography, not exactly what we are working with at the moment bt very well done and inspiring nonetheless.

narrative text

http://diaz-arts.com/2009/11/text-self-portraits/ 

This website is a blog from a high school digital arts class called Diaz Arts. They used expressive words and phrases to create portraits using narrative text.

Narrative Text Example

After searching awhile for a good example of a typographic narrative, I came across an artist known as Leo Mancini. Here is a link to his website: http://leomancinidesign.com/portfolio

Below are several example of his narrative typography. He has used all sorts of type styles to convey meaning without any real imagery. While it isn't digital work, I think it really emphasizes the project we have been working on. Here is a link directly to his narrative typography section: http://leomancinidesign.com/portfolio/narrative-typography

incredible artist

I know this isn't internet design... but I thought it was so incredible, that I had to share it!!
At just 22 years old, Italian artist Diego Fazo has developed the skill to create photo-realistic drawings using a simple charcoal pencil. His latest creation, pictured below, has drawn hundreds of positive comments on his Deviant Art profile.
Don’t tell me you can tell the image below is a drawing and not a high-definition photograph, because I don’t buy it. In fact people were so skeptical this incredible piece of art was drawn by hand that young Diego Fazo had to put up some photos of the work in progress just to lay doubts to rest. And looking at his-mind-blowing masterpiece, can you really blame people for  questioning it’s hand-drawn?
Like other talented artists who started their careers on Deviant Art, Diego is a self-taught pencil master whose technique matured with the passing of the years. He started out as a tattoo artist, and developed a passion for creating photo-realistic drawings. Inspired by the works of Japanese artists from the Edo period, like Katsushika Hokusai, he managed to capture people’s imaginations with his precise lines and oriental drawing techniques.

Here are Pictures of My Textual Narrative

Since I didn't have the files for class on Thursday, I figured I'd post what I'm doing with my site. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Here are the pics I have for the first two pages:





I included the down and up state for the links that navigate you through the site.
