Arnold Schwarzenegger Word Art

Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator were used to create the word art. I took the photo of Arnold and made it black-and-white, then into a cartoon in Photoshop. The techniques are used to create the word art in Illustrator by tracing and creating a word box in the shape of his hair and the shading on his face with varying colors to create the sense of that and let his features pop out so you can recognize him. I use lines and shapes to form borders throughout the designs to give him a sense of depth to the subject’s features. I drew up background shadow pieces where the black font is to give him more depth. It was an assignment where I had to pick my favorite celebrity, so I chose Arnold. I had to use the typography to show what he was all about, along with the lyrics to the song “You Could Be Mine“ as the base for his face and hair.
