the truth is written all over your face

Hi all. I thought I'd share these two typography portraits since they truly stand out from the rest.


The Bob Marley poster was created by Jason Yan in memory of the artist. The whole image is created from type and features lyrics from the artists' songs. The colourization and the font creates constant movement and direction in the piece. Upon first glimpse of the text "redemption songs", I can hear the melody playing in my head. The composition is extremely effective in the choice of facial expression as well as the selection of words that are enlarged creating a soulful and motivating atmosphere.


The Yoda poster by Olivia Truong is equally as effective. Rather than using black text, the shading and colour is embedded into the type which completely fits the subject matter, and is created with philosophical meaning within Yoda.
