Typo 4: Experimental Type, Designalogue Banners

Really had fun playing with my tape sheet the other day. Tape is translucent so the letters show through, and you can "select" certain letters to be more in focus than others by sticking them to the tape. The closer the letter form is to the tape screen the more clear it is. Bend the tape/bubble it and you get different warping effects (such as the third one down on the right row). Each image is unique and un-re-do-able which I find to be really interesting in and of itself. Some of these are more successful than others, but even the "boring" ones have unique qualities that you could only get by playing with analogue means of experimentation.

abby your type experiments were so simple and had an awesome outcome. I like that, why pay for the fancy programs if all we need is the fancy lightbox?

Not even a light box, just a computer screen lol. Thanks Cam.
