Typography Images

Typography is the style and appearance of printed matter. It can be used with images to make an impact because the words can be used to explain what the subject in the image means. Typography can be used with images to make a lasting impact because the words you use in the image can mean something or tell a story by reading it. 

This week, we were assigned by Mr. Sanderl to create a Typography image. My biggest challenge during this Typography project was getting used to all the steps in order to create the final product. I watched the tutorial videos and learned more about the effects you can use to make your image better. Watching the tutorial helped me to understand step-by-step how to create a great overall Typography image. 


















My first visual example on the left is of Steve Jobs an innovator. I used an image of him to create my first Typography image. I copy and pasted a paragraph of text from Wikipedia that was about him and added it to the image, my second picture on the right is of Mr. Rohrs, a P.E. teacher at Kapaa Middle School. We took a close up picture of his face and part of his shoulders. for the text, I typed words that described him then turned it into a stamp to add to the image. I used orange, green and purple color for the final effect on the image. My last picture is a portrait of me and this was my favorite out of all the examples I did because it was very fun creating this final image, I love the contrast of colors in my image and even though it was a little difficult during the process of it I am happy with my final image.
