Typography Images

A Typography is a style or way to make art by typing something out. Typography is a kind of design and use of text as a mean of communication. You can use any subject but for our class we took a picture of a teacher at our school. We then used words to fill in their contour. The words are mainly of that persons life, what they like to do, etc. When it is used with images, it makes an impact because when you can see the person as the main subject, mixed with the words about them and their life it makes a big impact on the whole thing. It just shows who they truly are. 

My biggest challenge so far during this project would have to be with my text. When I copy and paste the text it turns out very spaced out and far away from the other words. I noticed that there is a tool in Photoshop called the Kerning tool that helps fix the problem. A way that you can customize your text and the spacing however you want it to look. So to overcome this problem, I went in to Photoshop, found the Kerning tool and fixed my text so that there wouldn't be spaces in between. To overcome any issue all you have to do is stay focus and keep getting help from the people sitting besides you and all around you. 

First of all my Innovator practice picture(the top one)is of Thomas Edison who was one of the most significant innovators and inventors in American history. This is different from the other ones because the background is black and the text is white. The text used in this one is about his life and his history. My next example is the teacher one(the middle one). My teacher was Mr. Relacion, who is an English teacher for 7th grade here at Kapa'a Middle School. This one is different from the other one because the background is white and the text was black but is now colorful. The text that I used in this one is about Mr. Relacion's life and what he likes to do. My last example(the bottom one)is of me. This one is different because the the way we made this one is a totally different way than how we made the other ones. Also the text that I used in this one is describing me and what I like to do. My favorite one out of the three would probably be my teacher picture because I think I did my best on that one. Also because I tried my hardest on that one because I didn't want to mess up on that one because he is a teacher.
