    These are really great examples of how type can be a design element. I love that the type is just as illustrative if not more illustrative than the photos in the same layouts.

    I like a strong table of contents. The best of every one of these is that the type is readable and immediately clear

    Wow, these are really powerful examples of how a well-designed layout should look like. I wish you had put up some flyers as examples though! There are tons of flyers that make use of excellent typography, such as those on my blog, Flyer Design Goodness [www.flyergoodness.blogspot.com]

    I really hate that I love typography. I am riddled with guilt. How do I watch those starving babies in their eyes?
