Some design on a 'Design' blog? *dies* (Bonus feature, no more essay!)

I thought I'd start with the first bit of design I did as a personal project. I only learned InDesign last term, and so wanted to have a go and see what I could do with it. I started with the word claustrophobia, and went from there. By reducing the letterspacing on individual letters, and distorting the horizontal and vertical sizes of the letterforms, I gave the impression of there not being enough space, whilst only using two elements, the heading and the line of text.

A big thank you to the makers of the typefaces:
Prozac Buzz typeface by Bolt Cutter Designs - http://www.boltcutterdesign.net/

Rough Linen Typeface by LastSoundtrack - http://lastsoundtrack.fontspace.com/
Damn the Man typeface by [Unknown] (if you know please tell me so I can thank them :) )
