EQ: What are the four type/image relationships? How can you use the relationships between type and image to advance your design?

4 Type & Image Relationships

"When type meets image, there is automatically a dialogue between them, and each can pull the other in many different directions"-Nancy Skolos and Tom Wedell

Book: Type, Image, Message: A Graphic Design Layout Workshop

Authors: Nancy Skolos & Tom Wedell

Separation: TYPE and IMAGE operate independently from one another

Fusion: TYPE and IMAGE merge into one entity

Inversion: TYPE and IMAGE trade places and the type takes on pictorial
properties or the image takes on typographic qualities

Fragmentation: TYPE and IMAGE displace one another
