Shrek

Typography 23, 2002, p96
El Mundo Metropoli, Rodrigo Sanchez, Spain, magazine cover

This designer turns out one fantastic cover after another. This one features a typographic representation of Shrek. At first glance, it appears to be created by crayons. In actuality, it is one line of text repeated over and over—"Shrek es el nuevo heroe". I liked the layer effect he achieved. The bottom layer looks like a newspaper clipping and it appears to be colored. The designer repeated this effect in creating the masthead. The fonts used are Letter Gotic, Giza Seven Nine, and Cloister Old Style.
