# Realistic Artistic Typography Hand-Crafted Experimental Design Brings Graphics to Life By Alyson Wyers | Published 2013-07-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-typography References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/marion-luttenbergers-handcrafted-typography/) & [marion-luttenberger.squarespace](https://marion-luttenberger.squarespace.com/) Austrian artist Marion Luttenberger produced handcrafted artistic typography using a variety of sources. The diverse array of materials include artificial fur, water droplets and food. She took pictures of her projects, heightening the artistic element of these pieces. The artist described her typefaces as being conceptual, experimental and hands-on. What is particularly striking about this work is how literal it is. One can see this in her use of olives, bacon and water. In addition to her artistic typography, the artist also conceived a fascinating photography project where her subjects introduce her to the next. At the end she brings all the participants together. She performed this experiment twice in the Canadian city of Vancouver, British Columbia. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Typography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique and visually captivating typography designs. - **Handcrafted Design:** Opportunity to disrupt the design industry by offering handmade, one-of-a-kind creations that bring a personal touch to graphic design projects. - **Experimental Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms, combining unconventional materials to create visually stunning and thought-provoking pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Graphic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to incorporate handcrafted typographic elements that add a unique and artistic flair to branding and design projects. - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating experimental and conceptual photography techniques, creating visually engaging and unconventional images. - **Art Supplies:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating and marketing unconventional art supplies that cater to artists looking to push the boundaries of traditional art materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toddler-Focused Typography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-first-book-of-fancy-letters.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md) - [Limited Art Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autotype.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Interactive Typo Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveegolov.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-typography-stamp-set.md) - [Vibrantly Artful Graphic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-finkenauer.md) - [Typographic-Inspired Intricate Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-collection.md)
