Type Illustration

typeimage_06

Create an image using only type that translates the literal image from continuous tone to a type illustration. Try to use large expressive letters to define form when possible. Create tonal depth by nesting letters inside each other. Employ visual closure and use only what you need to communicate the form.

Rules of the game:

  1. No overlapping type
  2. No type on a path
  3. No fields of type with masks
  4. Use only the five classic typefaces
  5. No opacity changes (just black)
  6. Do not cut, stretch or change letters

Dimensions: 6″ x 6″
Colors: Black & White
