Today’s first design inspiration is a great mix of graphic design/digital art, fine art, and photography titled BKLYN. This piece is very visually interesting as there are multiple things telling your brain something different based on the elements in the photograph. There’s paint laying out, all over the table in the background and the typography looks to be painted on the sheet of paper on the table. It seems to just sit right on top of the paper, freshly painted. That is until you notice that there’s a hand holding the letter ‘B’. Then you realize that the ‘N’ is actually hanging off of the paper’s boundaries as well. I really like this play on the two different viewpoints of the type’s relationship to the paper.
As for the painting itself, it reminds me of a washed out and blurry image, near a lake on a cold, foggy morning. It’s colors make it look like it’s been given an Instagram filter. The lines are crisp and the line weight/thickness seems to be consistent throughout. All of the letters are connected to it’s preceding and following letter and the bottom of the ‘Y’ flows nicely over into the ‘K’ right before merging together.
