Typographic Darth Vader

To go along with the movie poster assignment we received in DMF (which I will hopefully have done soon), type is sometimes taken for granted as merely of means of expressing verbal language. Something I find interesting is when type is successfully used in unexpected ways. Check out this image I found. This is a relatively simple example of what can be done. Do a Google search to see for yourself what crazy stuff people have done with type.

  1. Die Scheuche Marchen (The Scarecrow Marches), published in 1922, is an early example of this. Do a google image search to see some of the specific pages.
