Typographic Portrait
Illustration by: Johnathon Mckay

            For this project, I found an image of myself appropriate and not to difficult to re-illustrate using only text. This wasn’t a difficult process with the help of facebook. For a lot of the image I used lyrics from some of my favorite songs. I’m trying to look as if I am having fun by picking a picture with a smile. I used thin lines to outline my face so they are the least noticeable. I used extremely large fonts for my eyes and eyebrows because they are the most noticeable, and thus I wanted them to be a focal point on my face. I used letters to shape me ear instead of doing an outline to make it a bit different. I placed the picture in the top half of my work space because of the beak on my hat; it is cut off at the top. I believe that I used my space fairly well, and my message was clear with the final product.
