Graphic design typefaces



In this image, depth is created by the light green, it is lifted forward and as an obsvation this is becauce the amount of area is larger than the red areas.
Red and green are complmentry colours but in this image the colours are fighting for dominance and the green usually wins. Its interesting that most of the colour green is mostly on the left as we read left to right and red is a dominant colour that we are stongly drawn towards.

I have been carfuly selecting colour pallete triplets, like in this image I too have used a comlmentry colour choice, purple and orange these colours worked and the thrid colour was peach to lift and seperate them in parts. I will strive to use complmentery colour in this way in the future and will take notes when image like this appear in day to day life.

Some of this text would be hard to read on it own, such as the letter M and W as the letter forms are much less defined. This would work as an embossment as the leterforms and shapes are simplized and suitable. Its almost like bauhaus meets bubble type. (lol) The form is fragmented and makes it difficult to read, leaving things ambiguous and limited information. This is an aesthetic quality I would like to achive in my work.
