Text Portraits

20 11 2007

As always, I was searching for something on the web and came across this wonderful site. It’s another thing that I didn’t find information on what I was originally searching. There is this concept called a text portrait wherein a persons image tells the full story about him/her. A picture is worth a thousand words ? ;) Nice and innovative I say. While it may not be that hard to do it, the idea is what counts.

Here is David Beckham’s text portrait:

The text doesn’t form the image, actually. The text is just differently coloured to trace the contours of these so called celebrities.

When did I say the text forms the image ? The picture is superimposed on the text. It should be easy to do if you have photoshop.

So-called celebrities? Whether you like it or not David Beckham certainly is one. And is that Schumacher?

@Jupiter,

Thanks for letting me know. However, I do not kow to use Photoshop.

@George,

Yes, David Schumacher it is. Marc’s definition of most things are out of ordinary.

@Marc,

You can’t keep doing that you know. Why can’t people comment on old posts ?
