Typography is the art and technique of using and arranging letters, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. There are many different branches of typography. One of them is the form of portrait making or text art. With the modern tools and software that are readily available such as Photoshop and Illustrator, creative typography has become a great design trend.
It is amazing to see how these creative designers have manipulated font types, sizes, typefaces and wording, combined with imagery to deliver the intended messages. If a picture is said to be worth a thousand words, these typographic portraits could be worth much more.

Love it, it is so cool....
AMAZING OH MY. I love those... I think some day I'll try one of these by myself...
Most of these are horrible!
Like the "Je t'aime" one. It's just a cutout of text on a photo!
"A Portrait", "Half" or "Text Self Portrait", I do find interesting, because it's hand drawn, the others are either automatically generated or a Photoshop Displacement Map.
