typography Hero
The typography project was when we had to choose a hero/role model and make them into typography. Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language readable. You can also use it to make faces which is what we did. I took phrases or words that revolve around our hero and used them to make the typography.
For my hero, I chose Alex Turner who is the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys. I wouldn't really describe him as my hero but more of a role model. I think he's a really cool guy and I really enjoy his music. Making Alex Turner in typography was definitely a challenge and I had trouble making it. One challenge I found was finding words and phrases. It made it easy that he was a musician so I could use songs or song lyrics. It was more of molding and shaping the words to fit his face and make it work. The other challenge was making it match the photo and seeing all the details in it. It even got so challenging that I had to restart and choose a different photo. I was pretty much done but I felt that it didn't really look like him so I just restarted. I'm much happier with my new final draft and the way it turned out. I really enjoyed this project because it was a project that incorporated something I like personally. Overall, I'm really happy with the way it turned out and hope we do more like this in the future.
