When it comes to getting ideas, the resources are many and sometimes part of a time capsule.
I have been discussing use of type on mobile screens with my Columbia class, and I urge the students to take a look at jazz album covers of another era for inspiration.
Specifically, those art directors had a knack for using type well. I then take those same album covers of the 50s, 60s and sometimes even the40s, and adapt them to the mobile screen as you can see in these examples.
Try taking a journey into the past and you will see that great ideas live forever.
