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.

Things Are Looking Up?


An interesting example of urban typography can be found on Lisa Riemann's website. This beautiful portfolio displays her work. An article entitled Urban Typography led me to her site. Lisa says she was just looking up and, 'there it was'. Keep your chins up there's something to learn here. Lisa said, “…she should start looking up more…” People don’t usually look up people should look up more often. Doctors say take 5 minutes each day lying flat on your back looking up at the ceiling for good posture. My posture and perspective on life have improved. So if you want to be creative, have a good perspective on life and good posture keep looking up, it works.

You seem to have a very positive outlook. I enjoyed the home page of Lisa R.'s site. Seeing the full image closer made me wonder how many different photos she took to get all of the right letters. What a cool idea.
