What- type again!!! Yes this time your are going to think about it very differently!!!
Typographic Portraits- using type to create an image! Above are examples of different ways Mrs. Riehle has created, but there are many different ways to do it! Here are some more links to examples of typographic portraits.
When you are ready to begin I have started uploading video to youtube for you to use. I will be ready to help if you have any questions!
What you will do:
1. Pick a portrait to do- It has to be someone you know- it can not be an image from google images etc. It has to be a photo taken by you or someone you know.
You can bring a real photo in for me to scan or in on a flash drive or upload it to your google docs.
2. Decide how you are going to create your image. Mrs. Riehle will have tutorials on various ways to do it, but not all ways- you may have to do a little searching!
3. When we are all done you are going to print this out HUGE! We will learn how to do that.
4. They should not look identical to the tutorials- make them your own!!!!!!
5. Have fun!
Here are a couple more examples using color and custom brushes instead of words.
