Rotation

<--Back | 17 of 44 | Next-->

A typographic structure creates the feel of emanating light and rotation.

Rotation

Rotating type seems a rather basic exercise, but the effect of angling type and thereby removing it from the safety of its conventional, horizontal baseline can powerfully influence type's energy and emotion. As rotations progress from slight to extreme, dynamic forces and emotional impact increase. Juxtaposing typographic elements at different angles can produce intriguing visual results.
