For my seventh blog post, I decided to use these two examples of expressive type. Expressive type is used by many as a creative tool to communicate the actual meaning of a word through design. The design class I took my freshman year of college taught me a lot about this specific subject and has grown to be one of my favorite things to look for in design. The picture of the word “humid” communicates the actual feeling of the word by lifting off the page while being gross and sticky. Even the use of warm color helps to express this word. In the second picture, the designer made two tunnels out of the “n” in the word tunnel.
