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.

Graphic Graffiti?

This is Graphic Graffiti!!

While driving on the outskirts of Baltimore's Little Italy at the corner of the 500 block of S. Central Avenue and the 300 block of Eastern Avenue I found this tremendous display of Graffiti Typography. The bold lettering really caught my eye I had to stop to take a good look at this wonderfully painted display of artistry. To my surprise I found some small print that identified this artist as Philip Aldinger. Philip and I went to grade school together here in Baltimore and he was always a terrific artist. I found out he has his own graffiti and mural business and his number was displayed next to his signature on the art. Ingenious!!
