The First image places the words in an eye catching shape. This secures the attention of the audience and is a very creative way to use type. Technically it is a type within a type. The second image uses overlapping layers to contrast letters and different colors helps to differentiate between the background and overlaying text. While one of these is neater than the other I feel they both work in terms of aesthetic and uniqueness.

What I like about these is just how much the text forms into a cohesive structure. The first one uses various fonts and weights, the bolder weights acting as more of a skeleton for the lighter weights on the outside. For the second one, I like the way the text wraps into a sort of triangle or pyramid, pointing to the text on the left. The text on the left is also laid out very neatly into columns. The word “meccanici” acts as a sort of support or rest for the list of words to the left of it.
