21 Inspirational Typography Artworks from DeviantArt

Posted in Articles - 2nd Sep, 08 at 12:17 am - 37 Comments

What is featured here is a range of Typography artworks, or Digital art that has been created using Typography in its different forms as the main focus or structure.

I came across these artworks whilst looking for some Typography inspiration in DeviantArt for a project I had was working on. I thought there was an incredible mix of talent here that needed to be shared with the wider community.

The inspirational collection here ranges from portraits made from just Typographic characters to abstract art design using 3D software and type elements.
I have on occasion tried to replicate this type of artwork and I have found it to be very painstaking and time consuming. So I praise the artists who have managed to make these beautiful artworks and designs look so stunning and graceful.

Wow. Truly a great collection of typography. Hopefully, there'll be a part 2 to this post. I'll tell you what else I'd like to see: a tutorial or two on how to create some of these text effects.

An excellent collection of typography.

No.5 is amazing? My take was that it was was totally unneccessary to inject negative politics just for negative politics' sake.

Most of these are phenominal and truly inspiring, but I have to agree with Donald... please don't mix cheap political stabs with true art.

@ Donald & @ beets,
Thanks for your comments, I however don't see the injection of #5 as a pure political statement.

I included it as a Typographic and Artistic Statement. Its not there to try and convey a 'personal message'.
I am not American, I have no interest in American Politics.

I do understand your point though. Thanks

This is type used very creatively as illustration, and therefore has nothing to do with or should not to be confused with typography in my opinion.
