type portrait inspiration

here are some links to type portraits that i like:

this first set shows typography used to create outlines and shadows of faces. i like the fact that the words do not obviously mean something to the portrait. i like the idea of just working with the shapes of the letterforms to get a desired curve or angle.

shades
swirls
nnn

these links show the use of typography and specific words that are somehow related to the subject. they also utilize the typography in the entire space, not just working with shadows.

angelina

rihanna (reverts to outlining, but works with changing typefaces)
