Hence, any shape that you could make with french curves would constitute a geometric shape. What I was saying was that Mendelsund managed to make the kitchy antique painting current by placing the clean (geometric) shape of the silhouette on top of it. Also, placing the small type inside the dark shape served to magnify the type. See what you've done? All this talk is making me hungry.Talhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149915064459375650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712387011776461959.post-86090771070925806602009-04-16T16:37:00.000-04:002009-04-16T16:37:00.000-04:00"I love how this cover combines the old riverboat ..."I love how this cover combines the old riverboat scene with a geometric form"<br /><br />I can't see no geometry man. But i do like this cover and it's great in person.<br /><br />It would be nice to see it with the girl done only in varnish. I mean, it's too late, but it would have been interesting.
