Typography Images

Typography is the style and appearance of printed matter. Typography can be either a portrait of someone or an object with a chunk of text placed over it. In our case were using images of people. The text usually shows the persons feelings, but can also represent other things such as their traits, interests, and hobbies. Typography can be used with images to make a lasting impact by making the image memorable.

 The biggest challenge during this project so far was understanding how to add the gradient overlay. to overcome the issue I asked for help from Mr. Sanderls helpers and they couldn't seem to fix the problem as well. So I explored through the blend modes and I finally found One that showed the gradient overlay as well as the text. That blend mode was subtract btw. Also I couldn't seen to figure how to create my text brush. So I watched and re-watched the tutorial until I could figure it out

My three examples are of Steve jobs, Mr. Mchugh and Me. What makes each of them different is that they are all done in different methods. Although they are each done using photoshop there were 3 different tutorials we followed. Also they are all of course portraits of different people. My favorite one would have to be the one of Mr. Mchugh, mostly because I like the method and how the text is added to the photo. Here are the links to the other tutorials 1 & 3.

    I like the different colors for different words
    I think next time you could make an outline of your head
    I really like the background, how it has a pattern to it. It adds depth!

    I really like the bevel and emboss you put on your background. It really stands out.
    I think you could have put a sort of outline of your face.
    I like the spacing of your text.

    1. Your font that you chose looks very fun
    2. Maybe you could improve by filling more spaces
    3. I can clearly see your text

    Interesting background texture.
    I can't really see you in the portrait.
    I like the colors you chose, but I would switch them around so we could see you better.

    I like how your font matches your words and your personality!
    Your highlights are difficult to see and I think it would be cool if you put a pastel color behind your face. The texture is a bit distracting.
    I can tell this image is light-hearted and you're a very chill person just by looking at your words.

    I really like how you used vey bright and vibrant colors
    I think you could've added a little more text to the different areas of your face to make more details
    I also like how you added the texture to the background it kind of pops out at you a little

    I like the mix of colors. Normally colors that aren't in the same color scheme, wouldn't look good, but I think it's nice
    Maybe next time you could put a little more detail in your features
    But nice job overall
