Form + Content #5

This image made by DryBones90, based on original stock image from Box-O-Fox stock. The form is a hand, constructed from words that are associated with the hand such as "wrist" and "arm." This is a great piece that obviously took a lot of time and effort. Kudos to DryBones99 and a job well done.

Jim Parsons, AKA Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory!"
In this assignment, any letterform was acceptable within any font family. Stretching or altering the letterform however is prohibited. I ended up using a lot of parenthesis, for obvious reasons.
This is my first original typography image on this blog. Enjoy!!

This is a design publication in the Netherlands. Here the artist is using the black and white squares of the chessboard to alternate between negative and positive space.
The form is related to the content, as these are posters for a Chess-themed event and even use the word "CHESS" in the design. Remarkable, if not predictable.

This piece immediately stands out due to its dramatic use of the third dimension. The red background gives a dynamic view and helps convey intensity. The form relates to the content by giving the appearance of "yelling," as the mouths in the center appear to be the source of the text, which comes moving forward towards the viewer.
