Sewon Park – LO – 5

One project produced through the use of computer graphics are the series of typography produced by Cristopher Haines. Although there are some significantly less complicated versions of such work, Haines utilizes his background in photography and digital art to create a more advanced form of portraits drawn through words. Through this work, Haines demonstrates mastery over Master Adobe Illustrator and a unique sense of style.

Typography portraits are interesting in that it can utilize words to deliver meaning. As such they are sometimes used in political campaigns. However, Haines attempts to show the convoluted nature of a human mind with a disorganized array of letters that combine together to create a disturbing face that eerily represents a woman’s. Such style puts his project at a completely new dimension from the simple works of typography portrait into a new realm of art.
