Pic of the Day: Type the Sky

Berlin-based photographer and illustrator Lisa Rienermann created this unique font out of buildings and blue skies while studying at the University of Duisburg-Essen; it was awarded a certificate of typographic excellence by the Type Directors Club New York back in 2007. “It began with the ‘Q,’” she has explained. “I was in a kind of courtyard in Barcelona. I looked upward and saw houses, the blue sky and clouds. The more I looked, I saw that the houses formed a letter Q.” Click through for a better look at some of the letters.

that's funny... my first thought was "WOW, AWSOME!" not only the idea but also the design is pretty neat! second thing that came to my mind was barcelona and I hadn't even read the text yet. Love BCN as well. Those narrow streets and inside-"all forms"-spanish plazas, with that blue sky above will stay in my mind forever. Great post!
