Historically Influenced Typography

Date: September 23rd, 2009

Time: Noon

Location: The wall of my dorm room, Dixon

This is a poster I brought back from Colorado. It is for the Silverton Jamboree, which was a weekend-long hippy blues festival. I didn't actually get a chance to see it, since we weren't in that area during the festival.

The headline of this poster is clearly influenced by typography from the Psychedelic Art period. It is not quite as trippy and confusing as most examples, but it is still organic and swirly.

Naturally Occurring Leterform

Date: September 17th, 2009

Time: Late evening

Location: The courtyard of Dixon Hall

This was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I found this letterform just outside my dorm. The armrest/leg of the bench forms the letter "S." It looks slightly distorted, sans serif, and much taller than a regular "S."

My First Post

Welcome to The Rusty Capital. This, obviously, is my first post. In a week or two I am going to start my type journal, so.... stay tuned, I guess.
