Hi all, i was recently browsing for inspiration and i found this,
Word Portraits of Presidential Candidates - information aesthetics
i dont know if maybe you already are familiar with these, but i just discovered them for myself and thought i would share,
also does anyone have any idea how to create images like these?? i figured the colour one looks like it was masked, pretty simple, but the top one is off the chain! it says something about an algorithm? so is there a quick way or is it like i expect, going to take a lot of time!
i do have a theory of how to create it, my theory goes, open in photoshop, desaturate, cutout effect, save as, open illustrator, create different shape text areas based on the cutouts colors, change size of text to depending on shade (darker=smaller, Lighter=larger) then mask the background, and VOILA!
I will try this and maybe post the result if its any good.
The same goes for portraits made up of other images, like in the apple screensaver, how simple is that to achieve?
Cheers y'all
