Letter-form/Counter-form

This design reminds me of a project I did for Art 313 Lettering and Typography at CSULA. The project was about letter-form/counter-form. We were to use two letter-forms and create different designs based on those two letter-forms. We were able to explore the shape of our letter-forms as well as the black and white shapes it created. This was a fun and interesting project. This project helped me to have a better understanding of small detail and what a great difference a placement of typography can make to the overall design.
The design in this image has alot of interesting interaction between black and white shapes. It is interesting how the black and white shapes interact with the letter-forms. This piece has me continuously looking for new images within the design.

This design is quite appealing to the eye and interesting. And, you are right it is similar to one of Jimmy's assignment from lettering typography. I think you mean when we developed our typography books correct? Thanks for sharing.

I like the division of negative and positive space. I did the same project you are talking about and I agree with you that it gave us a better understanding of details of typography.
