Typography Images

Typography is a process of arranging type over a portrait or photo. Typography can be used to make a beautiful picture stand out even more with the text. The different words explain the person or the symbol in the photo. Like for example your in love with swimming and your using a portrait of you for the typography photo, you may put texts's that explain swimming and what you love and relates to your life. This makes a long lasting impact because its not just an ordinary photo of someone or something, its a photo with meanings and symbols that explains the purpose of the photo or of the person.

The biggest challenge of this project is actually making the photo in Photoshop. Its very hard trying to equal and make the midtones and the shadows show clearly. Also, making the photo and doing the process of the masking and then inverting part was very hard. Lastly, trying to make sure you could see the different text was really hard also because I would position one part of the text then another part would get messed up with more texts on top of it.

For my three typography examples, there is: innovator, teacher and me. For the innovator I chose to do, Steve Jobs. He is the inventor of Apple and he is very intelligent. For the innovator, I covered Steve Job's portrait with text about his Apple company. For the Teacher, We had to choose one of the teachers or staff in our school to create a typography of them. Then we had to ask them 10-15 words that describe there everyday life, what they like to do, and what words describe them. Finally, for my me project we had to take a portrait photo of our selves and make a typography photo! We used text's that had to do with our lives. We used a different technique for each of the typography photos but for the me project, the technique was the hardest. My favorite typography was the teacher photo because the technique was easier. Also, we got to do a teacher of our choice and had them tell us words that described them. To me that was fun because we got to learn about the teacher we chose.
