After much deliberation and design work, finally the art team at Whoartnow have come up with a delectable range of Typography based images for your viewing pleasure! As a new and trendy interior trend at the moment new waves of Typography art have hit the design world, from the simplest of ideas, to new takes on classic Typography based images, all the way to the most complex images built entirely from text, this style has taken the art world by storm.

Typography actually refers to the way in which text is displayed on a page, be it handwritten or a web page, the use of Typography has become widely recognised as a form of art all together. Not only is it used to make sure text is placed effectively and in accordance to the reason it was written, but it has now become a way of designing pieces of illustrated art using text as the focal point of the image itself.
Personally I think the use of type to build an image is not only a fantastic idea but gives the phrase "A picture means a thousand words" a whole new and more literal meaning. To be able to build an image entirely out of letters is not as easy as one might think, it takes time, effort and an accurate eye, unfortunately for me I did not realise this until it was my turn to have a go. I mean some Typography is relatively easy, well not easy as there is still a lot of thought over placement, colour, font and even size, but for the most part the simplest of Typography is easier than building images out of words! There is some real skill and time that goes into the more complex designs, I've had a go myself but even an as an artist and photographer the concept is still hard to grasp.
The two pieces of art (top right [SunPower Scenes] and left [Blooming Lovely]) both by Nancy Satta, are both fantastic examples of how text can be used to add both depth and texture to an image. The type integrated into the image gives the image so much more to look at, with images like these the striking bold colours and simple detail are set off perfectly by the contrasting white circus themed text. Clever uses of both font and phrasing means the art itself holds hidden meaning, in this case portrayed by the text itself.
