Floating type...






As part of their final project, design graduates Joseph Egan and Hunter Thompson created anamorphic typography installations that appear to float in mid air. The large slogans that are only legible from certain angles are meant to explore the relationship between architecture and graphic design.

Egan and Thompson's work makes you challenge the conventional view that graphic design is largely a 2d oriented art from. At first glance these photos look like photoshopped images and not something you can actually step into. Although the photos are obviously very impressive I can't help but feel that we're missing out on the true impact of these fantastic graphic installations by not experiencing them for real.

Check out the video below, it is truly astounding. It proves to the world that Graphics in the 21st Century has no boundaries and is more than just nice images printed on nice stock.
