The two images shown here are a few examples of typographic portrates. They were created on behalf of the 51st grammy awards by the recording company who hired TBWA\chiat\day to product the typographic illiustrations that had been chosen to advertise the celebration of the Grammy awards. These posters date back 3 years ago in February 8th 2009. as part of the comition of the awards. There are many reasons that I can think of to explain why this is one of my chosen topics to anaylse but the main one is that I am actually blown away by how they even managed to think of something like this! They have definitely created history in my opinion. So many companies can use this to their advantage when it comes to advertising, and this will also benefit the creators because they are becoming more wealthy and recognised by other people using their creation. From what started off as simple photgraphy transformed into a beautiful graphic design piece, which personally, I think gives photgraphy a bit more of a reputation for being one of the sources in the arts to help create or add to a piece and make it outstanding.
I looked into the reason behind the workhttp://www.spinner.com/2009/01/13/steve-wonder-thom-yorke-get-artsy-for-grammys/ and have found out that the posters where created by asking the artists for a list of their favourite songs roughly 15 and one of their own. This was then transformed into the typographic picture (that was after they caught a shot of the artist first), using photoshop and the lyrics from the songs, the images have been edited and coloured with text and then turned into the photo into what they were not expecting.
