Weekly Blog

*edit*

This is an example of Frank Lloyd Wright typography that i found online. Its an example of Frank Lloyd design rather then his well known architecture work. I found this on google with a simple search of Frank Lloyd Wright. This picture shows the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and some of the style at the time. The typography used in this is obviously very neat and done cautiously. The image quality is up to standard since its digital now and not a photograph. And a word describing it would be clean and rectilinear which Frank Lloyd Wright was known for.


I find it interesting that Frank Lloyd Wright is not known for his graphic design but rather his architecture. Even though both are excpetional.


Question: Do you like Frank Lloyds Wrights design?

  1. This is kind of cool that you found something from his graphic design work. I agree with you in that he really isnt known for his graphic designs. I actually did not know he was a graphic designer until Laura told us in class.

  2. I took a class on the geography of Chicago last year and we talked about Frank lloyd Wright and his house in Oak Park, IL. I believe there were also a few buildings in Chicago that he constructed. He really likes to use clean cut edges and does not use much curve in any of his work. This is a great example of that, he uses a block like font and rectangles and the design is very clean cut and neat.
