Assignment #4 Typographic Portrait

Program: Illustrator CS5

Imagery Tools: TEXT, TEXT, and more TEXT

Create a self portrait in Illustrator using text.  You can use ANY font/typeface, but you must ONLY use that font/typeface.  You may change the color, font size, orientation... etc.

Step One: Take a photo of yourself RIGHT NOW using Photobooth. Use it as your guide for creating your portrait. There should be NO trace of this image in your final typographic portrait. The image should be 12 x 12 inches.

Step Two: Utilize text to create a typographic portrait. It can be ANY text you choose -- letters, numbers, symbols... etc. Play around with font sizes, color, rotations, warps... etc.

Step Three: PRINT!

The finished product must be on 13" x 19" paper at 300 dpi (resolution). You will be printing this image! You can use the Digital Print Lab here in the Art Dept or another print source of your choice. It MUST be printed on photographic grade paper! NOTE your portrait will be 12 x 12, but printed on 13 x 19 paper! 

Due date: MONDAY, MARCH 18.  - Come to class with your finished print! And upload your final image to your blogger as well as your Photobooth portrait (for comparison)!
