Foam Typography

I thought it would be fun to waste a load of shaving foam writing something on our enormous mirror. So I did. Had to be quick with the camera though because it started racing down to the bottom.

Inverted Sugar

I took the previous photo of the sugar into photoshop, Desaturated it, Inverted it and altered the Levels to make it look like a printed typewriter font. The extra spots take away the effect but you still wouldn't think it was sugar.

Sugar Typography

Text made from sugar, pretty easy to do using a small piece of paper to shape it. I think that adding the serifs make it look a lot better, giving it a grainy typewriter look.

Cotton Bud Typography

Cotton buds are really easy to shape and create letters from. It's looks a bit boring but I like the simplicity of the design.

Hotpoint Ad Typography

This page of a magazine advertising hotpoint dishwashers immediately drew my attention. The leftover food or fat is used to create each word on each surface. And it's real.

Slow Shutter Typography

The best way I have ever wrote my name. I just set my camera shutter to slow and while it was taking the picture I waved a torch to create the letters in my name.

Ice Typography

What else can you do with ice cubes in October? The glass chopping board underneath them works well too as it looks like ice.

Hot Chilis Typography

HOT HOT !! There wasn't enough red ones in the pack so I had to use a green one on the H. I think it looks good and the stem things on the ends give it a kind of serif style. Now I just have to eat them...

My Name On Keyboard

Not perfect because getting the angle and blur on the letters right was hard, but I'm pleased the idea.

Typography Eye

Quick attempt at making something relating to typography on photoshop using a few different fonts, I tried to get it to look like an eye with the P's & Y's symmetrical. Don't ask me why the T is red, I like it though.
