Typographic portrait for my Typo class.
This is project one. =]

I could say a lot about this piece that would make me lose my nerves all over again, so I'm not going to. :P
It took about 10-15 hours to complete, using Adobe Illustrator CS - the image in the background is my ID 5.0.

The main objective with this was to make it my own, not only with my picture but with the message of the words used. As said in my essay, I hope people get the idea of all the emotional input there is to this image. It's very personal.

In total there are about 16 lyrics printed in this:
*Words by Pablo Neruda
*"Elephant Woman", Blonde Redhead
*"I Walk Beside You", Dream Theater
*"The Point Of No Return", from The Phantom of the Opera
*"Frozen", Madonna
*"Nowhere Warm", Kate Havnevik
*"Life In Mono", Mono
*"Molinos De Viento", El Mago de Oz
*"Fly Away From Here", Aerosmith
*Words from The Crow

:D

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-10-04
When we listen to spoken words they become a part of our being. we are made of words. by ~sunfairyx shows us that song lyrics can mark our identity. Understanding what we're all about individually really is about reading between the lines. This beautiful piece of work is a dually layered with technique and personalization.

Very interesting. I love how you achieved a grayscale by layering text.

I like that you actually used strings of words that mean something. So many word-drawers just use five or six random words. In my opinion, the only reason to MAKE something with words is if the words add to the piece itself, becoming part of it rather than simply being a means to the end.

I'm also impressed about it being type set. I do traditional, where I have complete and utter control of my pen, but man oh man, computers can be so temperamental. Great job! I love the layering effect!
