Typography Images

Typography is a way to make an image out of words. Its like a style of art made from words. Its also a little like a style of writing. Its just that the arrangement of the words have to be in the form of the image. For example if I used an image of a person's face, the words would form the face. I think, typography images make a lasting impact because the words and color in the image just give you an idea. Typography images make a lasting impact because of the words used in the image.

The biggest challenge when making the typography images was pretty much everything. I mean most things were kind of hard and some things were easy. The hardest so far was the teacher typography image. Right now when I'm writing this we aren't done with the typography image of ourselves, but there will be an image of it. But the teacher image was hard for me because some steps, I didn't understand very well. When I had to add the gradient I got a little confused but luckily I got help from Ashley and Kyla and I finished on time. My biggest challenge when doing the me images was probably trying to get like a white back round. Although I asked for help and I finished.

From the three examples I think I like the teacher image the best. Although it was hard, I had fun making it. The first example shows an innovator. Her name is Marie Curie. We used words we found online. The second example is Mrs. Fujimoto, we used those words in her image because we asked her some questions about her self and those were her answers. The last example, is me. The words in the images of  me describe me. The image was taken by Kyla. So far I have used the words, energetic, science, eleven, and reading. I chose reading because I like to read, I chose science because it is my favorite subject in school. I chose energetic because I am energetic. Im not energetic at school but I am at home. Lastly I chose eleven because I am eleven. The typography image of me was fun to make too. I think is was easier than the teacher image.

Double Exposed Portrait

Portrait photography is pictures of a person or a group of people to show their expression or feeling. But, in a portrait, it shows both sides of the face. In profile pictures, it only shows the right or left side of the face. The picture only shows the persons right or left eye and only one half of their face. Profiles are basically an outline of one side of their face. A silhouette is an image of a person, animal, object, or a scene. Silhouettes represents the shape and its single color. The color is usually black, but the edges matching the outline of the subject.

To create a double exposure in photoshop, there are a few steps. File>Scripts>Load Files in to Stack>Browse>Choose three images>Start. When you pick three photos, one needs to be a profile picture of a person and the other two has to be textures. For mine, I used a book page and tree leaves. Double exposure makes two images combine to symbolize a side of your face.


I used the book page because I like to read. I chose a book that I read last year called "Gathering Blue". When I read this book it reminds me of last year, which was a fun year. I used the tree leaves because I like nature. I love gardening and I have always loved gardening since I was little. I think my quality could improve because it looks a bit weird. My chin looks a bit weird because i used the dodge tool there when I didn't mean too.
