Typography and Pop Culture

Really cool stuff. I’ve been seeing really great type in advertising as well as album covers. I mean massive and type focused works!

here are a few examples:

Doesn't Mean Anything

All I know is that there’s nothing like cute, sexy, massive, and playful type in an album cover!

if you have other album covers that fall in these categories ~ feel free to leave a comment and post!

As for type driven advertisements~ there are definitely a few great ones by canadian hip hop radio station flow 93.5 fm
then again! they’ve always had pretty amazing ads.

here’s an example:

Steve Job’s Speech

An inspiring speech by Steve Jobs delivered to graduates of Stanford University on June 12, 2005.

“I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

Souvenirs.
