Designing with type solutions

For your reference, I've scanned a couple pages from the book "Visual Literacy," by Judith and Richard Wilde. These examples show what the students at the School of Visual Arts came up with as solutions to the problems of scale, negative/positive, patterns and so on, using only type.

Look at these examples for reference and to study, but don't imitate them.

Projects from The Cooper Union

These projects were compiled by James Craig, author of "Designing With Type" and his class at the Cooper Union in New York City. Very interesting stuff - take a look.
