Entry 10 - Type Portraits

During my research period for my Kinetic Type video, I found what I've decided to call "Type Portraits." More or less, they're portraits where the people are simply made out of type. I found them impressive, and I was also able to get some notes and concepts just from looking at them.

Feel free to enjoy them:

"House"

"Untitled"

"Jimi Hendrix"
 Now, while I won't be doing anything as complicated in my actual video, the thing I can gather from these portraits is that different sizes of type can actually simulate shadows and textures. This will actually come in handy when it comes time to design the actual backgrounds that my characters will be on.
