Typography Images

What are Typography Portraits? Typography portraits are a picture of some body's face, with text that makes up their face. The text is color coated to make the colors match the original picture. When we made a typography portrait of an innovator, we got the portrait from Google images, and we got the text from a Wikipedia website about the certain innovator.

Images can make a lasting impact on people a few different ways. One way to make a lasting impact using a Typography portrait is to be able to relate to the picture and text. For example the emotion in a picture could be ratable, along with the words and colors blend with the picture.

My biggest challenge during the process of making the image was being able to follow instructions and finish in a timely manner. It was easy for me to get stuck by not knowing how to do something, and also messing it up by little mistakes I didn't notice which caused me to have to start over. I overcame these issues by referring back to the tutorial when I was lost. I got confused doing the cropping and it was hard to prevent small mistakes, but once I got the hang of it, it was super fun!

This is my innovator typography portrait, using the first tutorial. I used a picture of Michael Dell, the CEO of Dell computers. I used Wikipedia text that I found about him on the internet.



This is my Teacher typography intermediate portrait. I interviewed Mrs. Washington and asked her what words describe her, and I used those words for the text.

This is my Final finished typography advanced tutorial. The words I used were Love, Sports, and Courage.
