This website shows off some of the best examples of how typography can be used in web design. My favorite is the Evenglide Showroom image. I love the clean look of the type and the way it fits in perfectly with the image. The text does not take away anything from the image which is a difficult thing to accomplish. I have seen typography detract from images in the past, but this is a wonderful example of it adding to an image.

JayDax website is developed by a husband wife team, (John and Shelia Chapman) http://www.jaydax.co.uk/lastsupper/lastsupper.htm Rhetorical Analysis: This is a painting of the Last Supper painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. The purpose of this painting is to depicting the scripture in the Gospel of John 13:21,, in the Holy Bible. The targeted audiences are people who are Christians, artist, bible and historian scholars. Understanding the individuals in the painting are biblical, namely Jesus Christ in center of painting establishes a portion of the targeted audience, and the fact that it is a well known painting of Da Vinci establishes the art and historian scholar audience. Design Analysis: The painting is very good example of visual weight. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical balanced are use. Jesus is centered as well as the arch in the center of the table and the apostles are depicted on both sides of Jesus using symmetrical balance. When examining the table setting of the food symmetrical balance is used. Other examples of symmetrical balance are the rear windows, the gridded ceiling. All of these examples convey the definition of symmetrical as history, dignity, and formality. Asymmetrical balance in seen in the arches, one side is colored in and on side white space is used providing contrast and visual weight. Although the panels on the wall are symmetrical the contrast used on the left side provides an unequal, asymmetrical, balance.
