These examples were scanned from a book, titled "graphics alive", and was designed by Tsang Kin-wah.
It falls into the category of ''other'', and is a repetition of words in a pattern formation that lines the walls. Its bold, witty, organised and unique :)
In this case, the typography is the design. they have used (for the most part) a simple, blocky and san-serif font, that, despite its manipulation in to the shape of the design, is easy to read.
In the top two images, the artist has incorporated their cultural background by including asian characters and lettering.
The design is repetitive, and dynamic and at first glance not obvious in the sense that it doesn't look like words, but like a design and pattern. More of an illustration than text. It caught my attention because its not something i have seen before, and the simplicity of the concept (repetition) is contrasted by what is being repeated (the design).
very reminiscent of that typographic designer we were shown last semester where he was able to generate images through type.
