Type Portraits

This project did not turn out the way I thought it was going to. When the project was first assigned I thought the shape portrait would be the easiest, the line would be a little harder and I was going to hate the value. As it turned out, the shape portrait actually gave me the most problems. The line portrait went pretty much the way I expected it to. For the value portrait, I had trouble getting started, but once I figured out what I was doing, it was pretty easy and turned out to be my favorite of the three.

For the shape portrait, I chose a picture of me from last Christmas at my dad's. If I had known I was going to look like a mutant, I probably would have chosen a different picture. For the line portrait, I chose a picture of me on stage with my band. For the text, I chose the lyrics to the song "Sober" by Tool because that is the song I am playing in the picture. For the value, I chose a picture of me on my laptop with my dog looking over my shoulder. I used Steve Jobs' keynote speech from when he introduced the iPhone for this photo because it has my Macbook Pro in it and the introduction of the iPhone is when I officially became a Mac fan.
