Typography has become very popular among graphic designers, website designers and artists. Why? Because typography is an effective method of drawing a viewer into a layout, while keeping the design interesting. The power behind typography is the use of fonts, colorful text and twisted punctuation; and the combination of these elements is what makes typography an art. In addition, typography works well across multiple mediums. Examples of typography and can be found on: posters, magazine ads, newspaper ads, and brochures; but this is just the beginning. Other examples of typography can be found on buildings, signs and posters.
