Typography Images

Typography is the style and appearance you make your words or text.  Typography is also like kerning, arranging the space between the words or letters in a text.  When your kerning you can also make the words curved up like a smile, or down like a rainbow.  When you are using typography it make an impact because, it can describe a person to you using only a few words instead of using a lot of words that you a lot of times don't understand.  Also when you  are creating a typography portrait it makes the picture look a lot more interesting, especially when you take the colors from the image and use it in the words, making the words look like they are part of you.

I think my biggest challenge during this project was having no help, I think I lean on people too much.  I'm also not very good at reading a tutorial then trying to do that.  I had to read the tutorial over and over again till I finally got it.  Once I figured out what the tutorial was saying it was actually really easy to do.  I know that when we do another one of these projects I will get it better.  The other problem I had was making it so that their was less mid tones and more shadows and highlights.  It took a long time to get it right and make it so that you can see all the features in Mrs. Sampels face.  

The first typography we did was of an innovator, I chose Marissa Mayer, she was the first woman to ever work for Google.  I don't really like this image, because you can't really see her face and it just words on a black background.  The second typography picture we did was of a teacher of our choice.  I chose Mrs. Sampels, my social studies teacher.  We had to talk to them and get the words to put on the picture.  I like this one a lot better because it's really colorful and you can see the words better.  This project was hard, but I like the final product so I might try to make another one soon.
