Just My Type 19 September 2010

Wow the gallery has been rocking after our amazing full day chat day and some amazing bargains to be had on the sale !

For Just My Type this week I found an amazing piece of typography to use as inspiration. Sometimes its not what we expect. The fonts don’t matter. In this case they don’t emphasise or assist in any way. It’s the way that the letters are placed and the big thing here is the placement of the words. Also the fact that you are giving a message but by crossing it out – almost stating a fact ! Going against the grain as such.

Firstly Mel (Britgirl) has created a great layout with a few images of herself placed on the cardstock. The typography and words really tell us exactly who Mel is – but crossed out to emphasise the words “just me” .  Love it !

Then I loved Paula’s take on the inspiration. She has chosen to rather use the inspiration to show words to describe her special little girl and all the amazing qualities that karate give her.  Her choice of colours for the title are taken from the photo and that emphasises the words – I did my best !  Fantastic Paula !

Then on to my Layout.  My daughter, who is irritatingly organised, completed her nursery this week and she is so proud of it.  Now the 2 months wait for baba to arrive !  I chose to use words to describe her journey with this sweet little nursery !
