Taylor Lane Typographic Pinup Calendar
I came across this typographic pinup calendar by Taylor Lane a few years ago. In a recent search the images surfaced up again. Now that I have a blog I thought they were worth sharing with you. Taylor Lane of the UK put together a promotional calendar for their design work. They used type to create portraits of centerfolds. Each month’s beauty is set from a different typeface. All are beautifully done. It won a techniques award in the publications category from Epica (“Europe’s Premier Creative Awards”). I’d love to now what you guys make of these. Do you have any favorites? Or do they all look like transvestites? Chime in and let me know what you think. Below are some of my selects. Enjoy.

Some of the ugliest pin-up women, ever. I have seen much cleaner and non-scary looking typographic drawings than these. Nice effort, but not enough time spent on them. Feels way too rushed.

this is a great example of not letting your page activate your margins and your margins activating your page—everything is to spread out around the center object in the page, There is to much balance on the page the ugly chicks are not popping enough and yes the birds need a more work the artist kinda-took the lazy way out with using an ass load of )( getting away from the letters wich is the bread an butter of images, I do give a nelly simmone apluase for the idealio—the artist is on to something—very intriguing

Es increible lo que se puede inventar con algo de ocio, de cretividad y de eros. Letras que dicen mas que palabras.

debes ser muy pervertido o muy libidinoso para que con numeros y letras hagas esto!!!!!!! das verguenza!!! de muy mal gusto!!! en lugar de aplicarlo a esto aplicalo a algo que valga la pena y sea provechoso!!! te hubiese dibujado a vos en lugar de faltarle el respeto a la mujer!!!
——————————————————————————————
you must be a very very lecherous pervert that with numbers and letters do this !!!!!!! Shameful and in very bad taste! instead of applying it to to something that is worthwhile and is profitable! you have drawn to you instead of being disrespectful to women!
