Typography walk around Derry

I thought the standardised text that they used to number this street light is very cool, mainly cause it reminds me of my favourite Graffiti artisit Banksy -->

I liked the style of this Graffiti, in particular the large question mark. Overall its an interesting piece.
Gamestops huge Advertisment located on the wall of the Foyleside stands out well agaisnt the wall it is mounted on. I liked the simple, Yet effecive use of Bold type, Especially agaisnt the red background.

I liked the CEX logo, Due to its clever design and use of colours. The black outline on the text makes it stand out well.

I liked these posters for the variety of typography and layout they presented. My favourite is the 'Derry 4 Haiti' as it presents a clear and effect message.
