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.

Sign on High?

Signs, Signs, Everywhere are a Signs?

My most favorite neon typography is found right in the heart of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The image I like the most sits high above it all on the Power Plant. It seems to be a standard for all Hard Rock Cafe's to have these terrific neon signs. Their website gives you a virtual visit to Hard Rock Cafe's all over the world. This terrific neon guitar shape displays the neon lettering of the Hard Rock Cafe logo high above everything at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. It can be seen when traveling North bound by the harbor on East Pratt St. by the World Trade Center of Baltimore. Being the guitar enthusiast that I am, I am sure you can imagine why I like this particular sign. This guitar shaped sign draws the attentions of many Baltimore visitors and residents as well. Isn't it remarkable how it appears to be almost like it is floating on air?
