Walt Whitman is Cooler Than You
New illustration with a focus on typography for a change. Iphone wallpaper. Poem. Walt Whitman. Yeah.
The official title is "Walt Whitman Wears Shades" as you'll see why if you look at the image. The featured poem, called A Clear Midnight, was part of the compilation Leaves of Grass from 1900.
I wanted to do an exercise with typography and this is what happened. Just maybe I'll get a poster printed of this sometime. Oh, and the typeface is Lucida Std if any typophiles out there are interested. Enjoy.

Sweet. I really like the contrast of the background and the text. Done in a refreshing way. Well done :-)
Wow, I especially like the "Eye of Walt Providence". Good stuff!
