Wes Wilson, a major American psychedelic artist created
typography that shows movement and fluidity.
Psychedelia typography was mainly influenced by art
nouveau, Victorian & Edwardian display Lettering,
however through distortion the type is made relevant to the time,
the 60's, the era of rock concerts and free Love.
The idea of wrapping type around predetermined spaces
makes me think seriously about form and structure of typography.
