one of my favorite websites, tales of endearment has a new web address:
talesofendearment.com. the new design of the site is super clean and fresh and it makes me want to delve into typography & design to gather inspiration for my own work. as a writer and filmmaker i'm always interested in how projects use typography(with titles, posters, book covers, etc..) to enhance the visual story. just like wardrobe and set design help make a movie more layered and specific, typography can bring the film viewer into a story with just a few text or words. here are some examples: lars von triers'
