Photo investigation_Typography

Like we talked last class after Helvetica-the movie, you'll need to bring 10 high resolution photos to class on Feb 03. You can print them at home or have them printed at a shop. These photos will be your first typographic investigation for this class.
Typefaces are the subject matter of these photos. Not people, not objects, not signs, but typefaces. Words and messages can be cropped, but we must be able to see the typefaces they were written with.

SPECS
1. Each one of the 10 photos must have a different subject (eg. photo #1 mugs, #2 books, #3 signs, etc)
2. You must show at least two different typefaces per photo;
3. Photos can't be flat looking - they must show some sense of depth;
4. Photos must show a figure-ground relationship

Also:
Think of texture, color, light, contrast and the overall look of it. Each photo must be an interesting composition.

Here are a few examples:
