Iron or Irony?

Persistence of vision is a valuable principal found to have its place in designing. How visual effects persevere in the minds of the viewer can make or break the message it conveys. From the, strong, inflexible, rigid, sturdy, robust durability of iron like materials used, to the ironic contrasts of messages developed, a designer wants their message to create a lasting impression for their audience. Step right up and see for yourself is the unheard gesture that visual art always conveys. But the job isn’t actually done until the audience walks away with the impression created by the artist in their memory.

Chalk Talk?

The teacher?This little corner market restaraunt caught my eye with it's quaint appearance and it's down home advertising. At first glimpse I thought someone was really standing there. I had to look again and take a double take to realize it was really a statue with a chalk board sign. Certainly a childlike typography addressing the elements of school days and chalk talk. But this old style typography really caught my eye well placed under a street lamp on the corners of the 900 block of Stiles St. and the 200 block of S. High St. Isabella's statue really stands out.
