I've always liked typography. The thing is, most of what I've seen from that style of art used complete words and sentences, and sometimes even built a picture. I haven't seen much in the way of abstract typography pieces. But with so many different typefaces to choose from, I thought it could look nice, if it was done right.
So I tried my hand at it. I actually had no idea where to start, but all it took was a little playing around with letterforms and glyphs, and then I had this little composition. What I like most about it is that there's just a small amount of color. That's a style I have always enjoyed seeing, and I don't like leaving something devoid of at least a touch of color, so I tried it out. I added in the two grays after that because I didn't want it to be stark black and white and the one bright blue. That can be a hard transition to make sometimes, so I tried to soften it up a little. I like to think I succeeded, but that is, of course, up to the person looking at it.
