Typographic Self Portrait

This project involved the sole use of type to represent a kind of autobiographical composition. Using only the letters of my first and last name once each, I was able to make this portrait, which attempts to illustrate inner-tension and anxiety, intricacy and detail.

Notes

This project was a useful exercise in capturing and translating emotion and telling a story with type. I don't actually think I'm as serious as the decription though. *student work
