Incredible Typographic Portraits - A lot to see and enjoy!!

Posted on Thursday, April 9th, 2009

The most funny but true comment I’ve ever heard about Typography is “If typography didn’t exist to take care of letters, one day “D” would get depressed about its huge tummy and would kill itself It’s a fact that we overlook the importance of letters and words in our life but the beautiful art of Typography keeps us reminding.

From some time, I have been coming across lots of creative Typographic masterworks while surfing net and get tempted to share them with you all. Hopefully, you remember the post I added last month titled “Black and White Typography - Wonders of Graphic Design” Thanks to you all for appreciating it so much and leaving such welcoming comments.

However, once again I have got some terrific artwork showcasing typography used to create human portraits. Since there was so much to show so I decided to display President Barrack Obama posters as the exceptional feature of this post.

Scroll down to enjoy but don’t forget to share the most fascinating Typographic art piece. Let’s begin now!!

Can we get some attributions? Who did these? They are great, but I’d like to ref the artist when I post the JOBS poster to my site.

THX,

Clicked on your ‘Free logo design’ link. Why promote a service that completely undermines graphic designers, and the skills and talents they work hard to achieve? You are obviously not a graphic designer!

you need to give credit where credit is due. the steve jobs poster is not yours, and ill be guessing the rest arent either. its cool to make a collection of good work, but credit those who did them. the person that did the steve jobs poster goes to my school. so i know for a fact that it wasnt you.
his name is dylan roscover.

perez-fox.com » Obama Campaign Solicits Free Design Work On October 20th, 2011 at 11:19 am

[...] It’s worth mentioning, of course, how much free unsolicited design work was given to the Obama campaign in 2008. Shepard Fairey created the most famous of these, and his “Hope” poster later led to a rather nasty (but significant) court battle against the AP over fair use in photography. Designer and Illustrator Felix Sockwell did a series he entitled “Obeyma” (a reference to Fairey) and there have emerged dozens of gorgeous examples such as these typographic posters. [...]
