Creative illustrations by New York based artist Ji Lee show the meaning of different words.
The goal was to create visual representation of a word, using only the letters that are contained within the word itself. [buy the book]

Thanks for posting these – very inspiring and creative. Particularly like ‘ill’, ‘elevator’ and ‘moon’ – but they are all great!

This is so cool. They’re like visual onomatopoeia’s.

@red: in “fast food”, the font becomes bolder, like the body becomes fat as long as you eat in fast foods! ;)
