You have seen the methods and hopefully played with a few ideas. Here
is a chance to take a look at a few sites with exceptional text use.
Keep your eyes open for ideas whenever you surf the Web. The examples
are out there, and before long, you will be incorporating concepts you
have seen into your own style.
Great style and hardly a graphic in site. This site is not English,
but it is well worth the trip to Upcom,
even if you do not speak a word of German. Note how the text forms a
breakout in the heading graphic, which is enhanced by using the area
for more text. And placing a large, white character in the midst of
muted colors is a challenge. Great design. © Upcom. Used with permission.
OK, I admit it. Sometimes graphics help even with terrific text, but
the photo is not what makes this site special. Notice how the text is
subtle, yet it is really the star of the page. When you visit SCPIE,
pay close attention to the detail in the top graphic. The shadows are
wonderful. © SCPIE. Used with permission.
Perhaps I should not include this page here, since this is a dynamite
photo that could not be described as a secondary part of the design.
However, the text use on InFantasy
caught my eye for elegant way it is incorporated into this graphic.
There are so many poorly executed specialty text effects on the Web,
that I thought this was a great wake-up. Well designed specialty text
works. This entire design is compelling and the text is certainly a
big part of the success. © In Fantasy. Used with permission.
