Typography Images

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language readable and beautiful. In our case, we're using photos and text, to make it look like the text makes up the photo. It can be used to make a lasting impact by sparking interest in the viewer. You can also make the words in the photo describe the person to make it more personal. Using intriguing words can really bring in the viewer and have them see why the words are used, or just look at what words make up the photo.

My biggest challenge in the project was probably following along or Mr. Sanderl when we were actually doing the typography because he went really fast when we were creating our practice typography. I overcame this issue by looking at our tutorial that he provided me with.  The issue was quickly solved by me looking closely at the tutorial, and following closely. Another, smaller issue I had, is when we had to create a layer mask, I couldn't figure out how to paste the photo on the mask. I mean, it was an ignorant mistake, but I realized that I just wasn't really doing the right command. After going over the tutorial closely, I fixed all my mistakes.

In class, we did three typography portraits. One was an innovator, someone that made something important, and I chose the creator of google. For my second typography portrait, I took a picture of Mrs. Sandrel. The last one was me. Each one got more complex then the first, making it more difficult but also improving the overall image amazingly. My favorite has to be the me one so far, I mean not to sound conceited but I think it's going pretty well. It represents me and what I like really well and while now it looks messy, once it's finished it will look more amazing then what it already looks like.
