Description

As I was completing my degree in Technical Communications at Houston Community College (well into adulthood!), the assignment for our graphic design or typography course was to create a self-portrait using only type. This is what I came up with. I can no longer name all the fonts used, but to give you an idea, the eyeglasses are made from a letter G.

The challenge of creativity is right up my alley, but this was difficult because it also had to represent us, and fellow students had to decide which finished work represented whom.

I hope you enjoy it. It does look a bit like me (or did when I had teenagers at home!).
