Because I am a big Braves Fan, I had to create something that would honor one of the greatest managers that the game has ever seen. I might tweak this a little over time, but after several months waiting to finish, i am finally there. This is my first attempt at a typographic portrait, and i look forward to doing more in the future. And yes it is all type, even all the details in his face. Enjoy
Love the face structure of Bobby in your portrait piece Laura! :) Feels like a sculpture, but made out of type. :) LOL
ReplyDeleteA suggest I would have would to push back the "6" or have it smaller. Seeing it's one singular shape and not made out of type, it's competing for attention with the rest of the structure. The "A" I can understand, seeing it's the Braves logo and it's near the main focus of this composition. I really think pulling that "6" back will make the composition even better.
Have you shown this to any of your teachers yet?
I really like it, Laura!! I agree with Tres that it feels like a sculpture made out of type lol. I would have removed the "Braves" on his head. But other than that, it's really beautiful! You should post close ups of the wrinkles, eyes, and teeth so that everyone else can appreciate the detail and see how incredibly large this piece is! :D
