Take a Piece of my Type

Found this while purusing the internets today. The website, Type is Art, allows you to take pieces of typography and transform them into a little piece of art. Above is a little sampling of mine. Enjoy!

Awesome Type Coin

Graphic Design Wednesday---A Little Late

Stani Michiels, architect and artist recently won a design competition for the Dutch Ministry of Finance for the new 5 Euro coin. The theme, "Netherlands and Architecture," inspired him to create the coin using Architect's names to create a portrait of the Dutch queen on the front of the coin, while the back uses a variety of Architecture books to create an outline of the Netherlands. He says on his blog, “The books rise as buildings towards the center. Through their careful placement they combine to outline the Netherlands, while birds’ silhouettes suggest the capitals of all the provinces."

“I approached the subject ‘Netherlands and Architecture’ from two points of view,” he says on his blog. “On one hand I paid tribute to the rich Dutch architecture history and on the other hand to the contemporary quality of Dutch architecture. These form also the two sides of my coin. Traditionally the front of the coin needs to portray the queen, while the back side displays the value of the coin.”

Resolutions

I usually never make resolutions, but one of the things I've resolved to do this year is post on my blog more often, in fact, I'm going to try to do it every week day! The schedule that I've made up will follow the following ;)

Monday-Inspiration Monday-Why not begin your week with a little inspiration
Tuesday-New Talent Tuesday-Posts of any new or new to me works of art, design, or craft
Wednesday-Graphic Design Wednesday-I can't go a week without looking at something graphic-related, so neither should you!
Thursday-Work in Progress Thursday-Posting of projects I'm working on, graphic design, craft, or others
Friday-Fun Friday-Something fun to end the week with :)

I think this schedule will be fun and will make me more likely to post more often. I hope you all enjoy! Coming up in a few, Graphic Design Wednesday!
