Observing your surrounding as Type — Andrew Byrom

I thought it was very inspiring to see that this designer took 'creating type' to a highest degree. He simply observed the world around him and imagined to himself how it would be viewed as a typeface. He did an excessive amount of research on the materials he had observed and played around with the idea, and made interesting looking typeface (turned products). One of his products were just used as a furniture design exhibition, and a new idea was given to him from a random stranger commenting on his work. This run-in with the stranger proves how you need to see your work through other people's eyes and hear out their opinion on your work, because judging your own work isn't very progressive considering it's created by yourself, so you will more than likely be satisfied with it to begin with.
