To the great joy of those who are sure that art should be useful, and not only please, inspire and decorate, it finally happened! The minimalist prints that will be useful to travelers, called Typographic Transit Maps, are not just creatively played maps of the subways of Chicago, London, New York, San Francisco, Boston and Washington, but also original directories of metro stations. And also - a simple puzzle, a kind of exercise for the brain.
Made in the form of posters that can decorate the wall of an apartment or office, these minimalist typographic maps consist of subway stations written in a line, and already lines of words and names add up to subway lines. To find out at which station you should get off, you first need to solve this puzzle, but it will not take much time, but it will give the brain a wake up and strain a little.
This creative was invented by the design studio FadeOut Design, and the minimalistic Typographic Transit Maps are being implemented on the TRNSPRTNATION website. The cost of each of them is only $ 25, so if not as a full-fledged card, then as a souvenir, such a poster will definitely come in handy.

To paint a portrait or say a picture. Typographic Painting
No, it's not for nothing that artists say that portraits, still lifes, landscapes and other images do not paint, but write. Each such picture carries certain information, in other words, art speaks to us in its own language. But what if you teach the art of speaking in the literal sense of the word?
