Faux 3d

[Rodi]

I was waiting in line at DQ getting my wife a cone (I eat Carvel Ice Cream, not DQ Ice milk) and I always like their use of type, even if it is over done.

I love 3D type and they have a clever faux 3D that works amazingly well. Solid type on dark background with a white outline moved to the right and lowered. It just looks so good from a distance, it gives the optical illusion of dimension and can be two colors.

This is my sample.

very clever, but weeding that white would suck.

That's a nice type treatment,I like bevels, split, blended shades even convex. I'm going to work on a cross hatch type blending or shadow.kind of like this on the next job. And yes the weeding would be a pain unless it was 12'' or so Buy the way,has Stevo made a tutorial on blended shades in the premium section?

weed?

print and contour cut baby!

they are nice though, and if done well, short of walking up and putting your hand on it, its hard to tell sometimes...

I'm glad you saw that post... I figured you might be familiar with her work, but if not, I knew you would love it!

I was drawn to them because it is so simple, clever, complete. It is a visual thing, your mind fakes shading; which is quite interesting. In typography you often hear a lot of psycho mumbo jumbo pertaining to flat fonts, but this is real and applicable!
