Typography is one of those intensely underappreciated areas of web design that, used correctly, it can make your site jump off the screen and embed itself in your viewers long after they’ve departed — in fact, I just read a presentation not too long ago about how good typography can positively effect your website. Case in point, and perhaps the uber-demonstration of that thought, is the website of Takashi Okada. His flash-animated (I presume) typographic illustrations and typography are downright breathtaking. Just don’t click on his site unless you have a good fifteen minutes to sit and stare at the screen. Because thats exactly what you’ll end up doing. Okada is based in Tokyo and has done web and design work for clients around the world — you should definitely take a few minutes to explore his site(s).
