25+ Experimental Typography Showcases

We all know it – “A picture is worth a thousand words“. This is certainly true in most cases but clever use of typography can also turn words into pictures and then interesting things start to happen. Some people experiment with the idea of turning typography into art and pictures and I believe the results can be very interesting and inspiring. In particular this type of art is commonly seen on posters, in logos, on walls (graffiti), etc. Sit back and enjoy the Experimental Typography I discovered on Flickr today. If you fall in love with some of the art featured here I would recommend that you credit it with a comment on Flickr – just follow the link by clicking on the pictures.

25 Website Designs with Great use of Textures

textureinwebdesign

Using textures in web design have become quite popular. Textures are great for giving the design a more realistic look and feel but should be used with caution. Adding too much texture risk making the design too messy and it easily becomes a bit grunge’ish. I personally like simple textures or simply noise that break the colours a bit and gives depth and brings the design to life when used right. This post brings 25 sites with different use of textures for your inspiration. Drop a comment and share if you like some of them or if you know others I should add.
