For my portrait, I decided to do something similar to pointillism but instead of dots, I used words. I made a list of words that are about my passions/ideal career choices and then loaded a word randomly from the list to take place of each pixel in my image. Each word matches the color of the pixel in its respective x and y location. The words are all a pretty small font so they can pick up the details of the pixels well.
