Sorry, Paul. I didn't know that you did the type also (thought it was your photo only). However, since you asked, I would say that this illustrates why photographers aren't necessarily the best graphic designers of things based upon their work. That's because you have to be willing to sacrifice the integrity of the image for the greater good of the book cover/CD cover/whatever. Your photo is there to do it's part, but it is not the only reason for the book/CD/whatever's existence. I think the title suggests a playful retro font. Just not that particular one. One quick off-the-cuff idea can be seen here: http://www.antiqueauto.org/assets/paulmiles.jpg Apologies for the appropriation of the image and I'll be happy to remove it on Paul's say-so. It's just so much easier to SHOW than to tell. That particular font is not perfect either, but, you get the idea. Large enough to read. Colored blocks (partially translucent) with the white text gives good contrast readability. The blocks colors were taken from Mr. Miles' suit.
