I found the above article interesting as it shows that you can gain inspiration from anything and anywhere. The designer has made a typeface that was inspired by social issues that are going on in the world which are cleverly reflected by each letter. The most interesting thing about this design is that it is still legible when used to write text. This cleaver design made me consider what i use as inspiration in my designs and how limited it usually is, most my designs are influenced by found imagery, feedback or my own ideas, which is ok, but is not as influential as issues that are evolving around use today. Although is is not always appropriate for a project i think it is important to my practice that i start to look for a wider range of inspiration.
