Artist's Comments

This was originally part of a class assignment--we had to choose seven typefaces, 3 serifs, 3 sans serif, and one of our own choice and create a booklet about each. For the theme, I chose to make typographic portraits of the creators of the fonts I chose, using only their names in the typeface they created to make the portrait (with the addition of the typeface name somewhere in there).

Turns out, I did the assignment wrong. So... I've decided to put the results of my efforts up here so I don't feel so bad about having to redo them. Haha.
