Typography Images

Colorless Mr. Dell, TYPOGRAPHY STYLE!

*Sluuuuuurp* Ahhh. Delicious- wait. What? We're filming already? Oh, um, well... I was in the middle of slurping some absolutely delicious tomato soup. Anyway... You probably weren't wanting to hear about ANOTHER G.T. project, but too bad! That's what I'm talking about. Now from the title you can see that the newest project is TYPOGRAPHY IMAGES. Extra emphasis on the ALL CAPS RAGE. Anyway, basically, we take a custom paintbrush of text, or a giant block of text (kinda like this entire post, if there were no spaces between paragraphs...) that's relevant to the portrait (or image) you have, and re-make the portrait OUT OF TEXT! Magic! And I believe it's meaningful because it kinda shows the inner meaning of the picture / portrait. And it really makes a lasting impact because of what I just said, and the saying: "A picture is worth a thousand words. Welp, enough with being deep, so, garglebarglefuz.

Colorful Math Teacher, (Mrs. Nakamura)
TYPOGRAPHY STYLE!

During this project, I had many difficulties getting the text to work. I made an ENORMOUS block of text, and when I cropped the image, there was so much offscreen that photoshop actually crashed! Wow. The power of text. To overcome this, I had to delete the text layer altogether, and then make a new one AFTER I cropped the image. If you ever do what I did, crop the photo FIRST! And look at a tutorial. Sorry I don't have a link, but I lost it in the gallons of tomato soup in my cellar. Or you can use the intermediate tutorial here. *Shuffle* *Shuffle* AHA! I found it! It's Hea! I found it in my Lemon Bar cellar! Or, you could take the super advanced do-not-try-this-at-home tutorial, here. The one to the Right was a little more complex, (and I faced much more problems...) but if you want an in-depth explanation, once again, go to the intermediate tutorial.

The "Me" Portrait

The picture titled "Colorless Mr. Dell," is basically a picture of Mr. Dell (Michael Dell) Founder of the Dell software company. I took a big wikipedia article on him and copy-pasted it until it filled his face. Then, with a few other steps, POOF! That! Up there! Yeah! The one of my math teacher was a little bit harder. To make that, I actually had to make a custom brush! I took text that pretty much describes her, and made it into a brush, then I stamped it all over her face, then, with the same "other steps" as to make Michael Dell Typography to make Mrs. Nakamura Typography style! Finally, was my "Me" portrait. This was more complex. I had to take a pic of me, then make it black & white, then "posterize" it, then place text all over the different greys with different colors. Finally, a little layer effects, a gradient background, a bit of bevel and emboss here and there, and bing bang boom! The portrait seen to the LEFT is the completed product! DONE. Anyone can see the differences between the different portraits.

Another crazy project come and gone,
