This piece was to use type to make a portrait and convey that person through it. I chose my brother and wrote down a list of words that reflected him or I connected to him ranging from Arizona to Cowboy Bepop.

I decided to distort the words in a way to make them flow, I wanted them to be soft and rounded in the corners because my brother’s personality is that way.

I wanted to emphasize his clothing, hair and eyes and make it simple so the first thing you recognized was him but without any other shapes simply just the text.

For the background I decided to make it his skin color because of the ability to go well with the warm brown undertones of the piece.

Overall, it was noted to have an urban feel and capture details in a unique way through the hair by the distortion of the words.
