sweet :)

tutorial would be nice.
trial and error i think :p

Wow, that is amazing.
I have heard about some applications to transfer images to text. Of course it not possible to have the same effect but I think is ok to begins with one of those.

woow, this must be the most inspirational article i've ever seen.

Great and catching title also ;)

awesome

awesome works, any kind of tutorial needed.

Is there a software which generates this from an image?

oh yes

tutorial would be nice. (2)

Hey!
I´ve seen several kind of posts in this site, but this post is a better then all... maybe because I´m looking fot typography and all rellationship. It´s great!

Wow, amazing!
I'd really appreciate a tutorial about how to create one of those myself!

that's amazing !!

Amazing Collection, do you have any tutorials

Neat collection. I've seen many of these lately, they've grown in popularity-latest trend. Most popular one is Grammys.

Great! I love the creative use of typography.

Hardly original. This kind of stuff has been done thousands of times and its pretty much what everyone does to express type in their first type class in design school...i woudnt consider pushing it to the next level...

This is a great collection. How inspiring. I'm a wanna-be designer, too, and I've been doing it professionally for 6 years. =P

Chuss.

Wow, so nice!

@ez-roller
I agree, a tutorial will help a lot!

Hey man, thanks for the feature. :)

Pretty cool use of typography!

This was a powerfull trend some time ago.
I wonder who started this trend...

Anyway, still impressive!
There is a another trend with this kind of art that does vehicles and objects.

Hi people , thanks for the comments there is a short video showing you a technique to do this , but if so many of you want to have a tutorial i will try to make one or ask some of this awesome artists to share with us some of their knowledge bye

Very nice and thorough article.
The Steve Jobs portrait was done by a student at Full Sail and I got to meet him and talk to him about the piece. Very nice work.
These portraits are easy to do, but tedious.
All you do is create individual paths in illustrator for every line of text. The tedious part is that you have to do this thousands of times.

Awesome post! Type portraiture is awesome.

My wife did a great type portrait of John Malkovich in one of her classes.

Thanks,
I like your work very much, I can't imagine how you apply the type forms, a very different compositing stick of old.

uh,
these are amazing
D: -jealous-

I am really impressed with your work. You're a great and creative mind. I think you will go far in the arts field. Best of luck.

Hi guys, I have just started a blog and posted a direct link to this page, of course to share this cool page with my viewers.

But is doing what the website below is doing, legal, or even normal:

I love the Miyavi one, mostly because Miyavi is just plain amazing even without being made into typography!!! (Third before last) That surprised me! :D And I love the first one, too. Quite lovely

BABYGRL WHOA!!THIS IS F'KING ILL !

Very nice! How can I get my typeface?

These are simply amazing! Thanks so much for collecting them for our viewing pleasure!

For those of you looking for tutorials, it looks like most of these were created in Illustrator with the Envelope Distort Make with Warp tools. Others look like they were created just by changing the color of the type - probably in Photoshop.

No matter how they were created, I'm sure there isn't an easy step-by-step for any of them. They all required solid planning, exquisite attention to detail, and loads of time!

Great post, Sanid!

People,note this : Its not MY work

This is great! Is there a simple way to repeat it?

These are tremendous! I think I'd love having one of myself for my blog.

WOW! Very Very Cool!! Who knew that could be done =D Awsome work!

I had to do a project similar to this but we used animals instead. We also could only use the letters in the animal's name but we could choose any mammal and any font. We also couldn't use really tiny letters to fill up the space etc. because our teacher wanted to be able to see the letters themselves. Here's mine:

4 Obamas? wow....I'm getting so sick and tired of seeing Obama in the Art world.

verygood inspiration...I wish and can be like you

Congratulations, really great artwork. Best regards.

You're a 16- year-old, wannbe designer? Un-uh! You're already there kid.

cool, see my cartoons website I draw: http://vd.selfip.com

Did a typographic portrait of TV on the Radio using only their lyrics from "Return to Cookie Mountain" a couple years ago, here's my link: http://www.onlyforplacement.com/work/type/tvotr.html

Increable!

It's really very nice!

I was amazed by these typographic portraits....
Im just wondering how many hours did you spend in doing one of those pictures, is it by hand or your using a software that generates into typographic portrait?....
Can i send my pictures and make it like that? hahaha...but anyways, whoever made these typographic portraits, you have a talent and you rock!!!=)

SANID, This Illegal!!, You have to put credit The ORIGINAL ARTIST.
Please updated the post...

o Yes by the way, one of those image is MINE in deviantART.

Fantastic! you should realize a tutorial to make something like this...

Dude, thanks for the feature :))

Hey. I was seriously inspired by this post and redesigned my webpage using the technique http://dzhus.com . Thanks.
