type-face

Did you know that I'm taking a couple graphic design classes these days? It's true. I was recently given an assignment to make faces using only typefaces. Hm! Hadn't thought of doing that before.

Some of my classmates are extremely talented at doing this! As for me, it's not quite my forte', but it was fun!

Here is a flutist. (I meant for the hat to read "marching band" which didn't fully work out)...



A boy surprised by gas... "whoops!"


And lastly, a valentine ~ featuring a couple from perhaps 100 years ago (or more). We weren't supposed to use color, but what's a valentine without a bit of red and pink?

 

Perhaps some of you have done other interesting things with type? If so, I'd love to know about them! This is a new area for me. ^_^

It's a fun challenge ~ kind of like digital collage. ^_^

What?! I never heard about typeface... how it works?

Typeface refers to all the different kinds of fonts and letters, so the game was to make pictures using only letters, numbers and punctuation. I used Photoshop to size and place them.

I LOVE typography and envy the class you're taking. I wish I could take most of my college classes again. I would have a much greater appreciation for the subject.

The way you've used type to make pictures is really imaginative, I love the surprised boy with his little hash-blush! Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Best wishes,

My first time around, back when my parents were paying for college, they required me to take business & science (when I'd have preferred arts & writing!) so I'm fulfilling my true wishes at last. :) Perhaps you're right about appreciating them more now... I'm definitely having fun!

Thank you, Emma! It's new to me but I plan to play with this idea a lot more in the future. Thanks for following my blog. ^_^
