X marks the spot

 X marks the spot as my girlfriend and I cross feet. This X is created by our legs using line that sets the point in motion as well as adding shape and form to the picture. I hope these photos aren't getting too boring or too artsy

Q... for Q

Q is just an odd shape and letter so I thought I would have a much more difficult time finding it. But then the way I tilted this item from a wedding I attended helped pull out the letter form. It uses shape, volume, and color to produce the letter.

E for cropping

 The steering wheel cropped in this photo makes the letter form for E. The scale and proportion of the wheel to the dash gives a sense of space to the photo as well as projecting the letter form out to the viewer.

Double T

 

Both of these pictures form the letter T. The contrast between the ocean, sunset, and sky give shape and volume to the T while the top picture is made up of a sign post. The sign is made up of a two tone look between dark and light so some value provides the contrast.;

 

V

Line is producing the image in this pair of roses

Give me a T

Both capital and lower case t found out of aerospace fastners

Stay! Good type!

This is a very good use of typography that acts in a very visual manner. It uses letter forms to illustrate in text. On top of conveying a message.

Bad type! Bad- bad-bad!

This ad has a very poor use of type. The strongest visual element is contrast which acts as a visual weight to push the balance between the photo and the text. There is no other elements or principles connecting the logo, motto, or picture together so all the elements within the composition lack connection.
