Genuine Typeface Design Poster
A project for school to illustrate something using pure text. I chose to illustrate Charlie Chaplin via the usage of his famous speech in "The Great Dictator." I used Adobe Illustrator for the whole project using a blueprinted hand-drawn outline of a photo of Chaplin, scanning the outline, then digitally drawing lines to trace into Illustrator. From there, I only types in the parameters of the outlined images. Days of kerning, alignment adjusting, leading and tracking. I created a drop shadow on the text under his eye to appeal to natural under eyes- and bolded the text of his tie and mustace. View the speech here:
