World's Most Creative Alphabets

World's Most Creative Alphabets

There are so many crazy ways to write the ABC's. It's a great creative exercise - it would do me well to try my own when I hit a creative slump. I'm amazed at the ingenuity of some of these. This collection of alphabets was gathered from the portfolios of artists, photographers and design students around the world. Credits are noted where known. If you see any with missing credits, please share in the comments - thanks in advance.
