Inspired by Alan Fletcher’s The Art of Looking Sideways,
I decided to put up my random little typographic thoughts
into a visual journal. Please let me know what you think.

Also, I recently decided to combine my love of type with
optical illusions to create some interesting effects, so
expect more of that in the future!

I like your Stereogram best, but I cannot see it, if you help me I appreciate.
Link “visual arts” from http://www.tornquist.it , J.T. was my prof. for Color Design, I am sure you can get some inspiration for your art.

Regards,

AS, I’m surprised you liked the stereogram best considering the fact that you can’t see it. I put the black X marks there to indicate the amount of unfocusing you should attempt- merge the two Xs into one, and it’ll work. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you, yes, I can see it now. I cannot see many things dear friend.
It is actually a big pleasure to read the beauty throught different angles,
and since beauty is a language, luckily it is not only written.
I tried to overlap the two parts but the position of the X marks is not precise.
