Typically when we look at a subway ad or read the newspaper many of us take for granted the finer points of good typographical design. On a subconscious level, fonts have the power to convey just as much tone and emotion as the actual words themselves. Similarly, a word's design can hold just as much visual impact as their intended meanings. As a result, for many graphic designers, the old adage "less is more" holds true.
The following ten images are examples of artists who've taken otherwise simplistic wallpapers and turned them into visually arresting pieces of art. One final note, some of these images have appeared on TrendHunter in the past but, in my opinion, deserve a second look.
