Typography Images

Alexander Graham Bell
Mrs. Sanderl
Typography is the art of arranging letters and words to make a certain image. It can be used to make an image like a portrait. A a typography image can make a lasting impact by showing someone a new type of art. It can also make a lasting impact by giving someone a new way to view object and even people.

Me
My biggest challenge during the typography project that was the picture of me was the colors and trying to make the image looks like me. Although towards the end I could never make the image look like me it was still the biggest challenge for me. I could never fully overcome the issue, but I did make it look better. I think that in order to make the image better I had to play around with the colors of the words and highlights and the midtones. Again, I am disappointed with the way it turned out and I know I could have done a lot of things to make it look better.

In total, I have 3 examples which are of an art teacher in my school, Mrs. Sanderl, a famous innovator, and me. There are many differences between the 3 examples. The typography image of Mrs. Sanderl was one of the easier ones to make and also my #1 favorite out of all of them. The white background and colors look good together and it is very easy to tell that it is her. The typography image of the famous innovator, Alexander Graham Bell would be my second favorite out of the 3 examples. In this typography image it is also easy to see his face. In this particular image the class had to make it only black & white. And last but not least is the typography image of me. I would say that this one is my least favorite because of a couple things. 1) It looks nothing like me and 2) I did not put a background color which probably would have made it look better.
