In period of doing presentation about typography, I intended to talk about Artext which is the way to present a photo by thousands of words.
Below is some illustrations:

This method looks quite interesting and strange. In theory, pictures are made of thousands of pixels, now they are made of words, instead.

Moreover, the text that contains characters to make whole image can be customized by yourself.

To make a picture by this way, carefulness in color words are significant. If thay are done by hand, it's possible but will take a long time. In fact, they have a software to make those...

Just an interestingly meaningful video

This video is made by a group of people in The School of Visual Arts. The film has been viewed over 7 million times since it was introduced.

About technical method, they made it by Maya and Adobe After Effect. The interesting things for me here are the idea and how they represented this idea.

I guess that you guys can easily get their ideas when finish watching it.

Enjoy!
