Typography Images

Our current project in G.T is called Typography images. We are creating typography portraits which is where we use the shape of a portrait of someone and put words inside to deliver a message. It can be used with images to make a lasting impact because you can use inspiring words and show who said it at the same time. For example, you could use Martin Luther Kings picture and put in his "I had a dream speech" throughout his head. In that case, more people would pay attention to it because of how interesting it looks. So far i'm really enjoying this project.

At first when I seen how our final outcome should look, I got scared. From never doing this before, it looked pretty challenging. But over the days, after watching some tutorial videos, I realized it was a fairly easy project. I think after three years of being in G.T., i'm being able to understand and comprehend things a lot faster which made every step an easy follow along kind of thing. So most of the project was easy enough for me to follow along but hard enough to get me thinking. I Probably struggles the most with my "Me" example, because my portrait I used for it didn't have very much highlights. After posterizing my image and adjusting the contrast and some other things I had a little more highlight but still not the amount I wanted. I went on with the project so as to not get far behind and finished it up, but still the highlights weren't enough. Instead of restarting the project, I did what our teacher, Mr.Sanderl, recommended and selected my shadows and made it a different color (The blue area) and it made my image five times better.
                                                                     
The image above, is an image of Benjamin Franklin created by text. The text aren't just any words but they are information all about him. Since I made the text really small, I copied the first amount of text I got, and repeatedly pasted it until the words covered the whole page.

I think my favorite out of my three is "Me" because of how much more detail and layer effects I have compared to the other two. I also love the "Me" the best because you can see a lot of the words clearly and it explains me well.
                                                                                                                            Me                                                                           Teacher

I love the way me "Me" came out! I would definitely change some things the next time but I love it!


I also love the way my "Teacher" Came out! Love the way the colors fade together!

  4. Pretty typography Lilio. I really love your choices for words and your use of colors I think you could have gone back and reduce the amount of highlights for your face. It really dominates your image. However, your words are really visible.

  5. Nice job Lilio! I like how you can clearly see the words. However, I see some highlights on the left in your hair, and it seems like a weird place for them... overall awesome job!

  7. Great job on the final. Looks great!
    Although you can see all the words clearly, you just cant really see it in the dark gray area.
    Great colors altogether.

  8. I really like how colorful your image is.
    You may want to make your words a bit more noticeable.
    Though in a whole all of your images are really cool.

  11. I really like how clear your text is and how easy it is to read. I think that you could have added more shadows in your picture but I know that could have been hard to do. Great color scheme!

  12. I like how well you can see the words... but maybe you could've had less highlights.... but you did a pretty great job anyway!

  13. Looks pretty, but maybe you could've made the puffiness of your words less puffier that what it is and use one word for one color like respect for black, smile for dark grey, Family for light gray and friends for white.

  14. I really like the colors you chose for your image.
    I think you could've separated the layers a little more.
    I also like how you chose to put the light color in the mid-tones instead of in the highlights.

  18. It's easy to tell that this is an image of you. One thing you could do next time is make the words easier to read, a few of them got cut off. I also like the colors you used, they match and go well with your image.

  19. Nice job, I really like how well you can see your words. I think next time you could have less highlights on your face, but overall, great job, and I love your color scheme!

  20. It's easy to tell that this you, but it looks kind of cartoonish so you could show more details or words. Overall, nice job!

  21. I like the color choice for your words and the words themselves are visible and readable.
    While the words are indeed visible, you could of made the words near the bottom not as clustered.
    Your face is visible and we can tell it is you. Nicely done Lilio!

  24. I like the color scheme that you used.
    I think that next time you could add even more highlights to your image.
    I also really like the silver in your hair because it adds texture to your image.

  25. I really like how you made your words very clear and readable.
    Maybe next time you could edit your picture more so you could bring out the highlights in your image.
    Over-all, great job... I love your color scheme!
