Task 13 : Good and bad type

Bad type because it doesn't match the colors and design as well as it does the traditional Mother cans

Bad type because it's plain and uninteresting

Bad type because it's not really creative

 Bad type because it's an unoriginal copy of a good type (Yugioh, Beyblade etc) with stylised Asian-looking symbols behind it (something that's been done before)

Bad type because it's not legible or easy to read despite how big it is

Good type for the context being used, fits the mood and message pretty well

Good type because it's bold and easy to read, but extremely basic and boring (and the context is written by someone with no sense of humor)

Good type because...

Good type because......

Good type because....


I can't think of much to say about the last three, I think they can be summed up together as being perfectly legible and stylized, but nothing special or too spectacular.
