Welcome to the next challenge of CRTextAndTypography 
This is a series of recurring, but maybe irregular typography related challenges for everyone to take part in. They will have a start and end date and each deviation must be submitted to dA after the start date. Only deviations created with each challenge in mind will be accepted.
Please remember this is a challenge, not a contest, there are no prizes to win.
This is mostly a source of "jobs" that you can do
I could be more cheesy and say the prize will be finding out how awesome friendship is … but … oh well.
Here we go!

Picture Interpretation Challenge
How often do you look around your environment or at pictures and photos and think "Oh this object, its shape totally looks like a letter!" ? I am sure this happens to all of us and this challenge is exactly about that feeling!
This challenge is all about taking inspiration from a picture and create typography from it.
The Challenge
First you have to find a picture and look for hidden or obvious shapes resembling letter forms.
Once you found "your letter" in the picture, you have to think of way in which to incorporate a word into the picture containing said letter.
The word should have some sort of relevance to the picture you choose.
And the appearance of the word should be customized in a way it will work with the picture. You can use fonts or draw/paint the letters yourself, which way you go, depends on the concept you choose to go with.
Examples
I have created two very simple and basic examples to demonstrate the most minimal way this challenge should be solved. You can also see two of the many possible directions; creating letters from scratch or using fonts.
The phenomenon of seeing a certain shape in an image or scenery is also called Pareidolia. It is for example seeing a bunny in a cloud or Jesus on a burnt slice of toast. In our case, we are looking for images with this phenomenon in which you see a letter form in the picture.
Rules
- Credit all stock/resources used, only legitimate images are allowed; remember to follow the stock provider's Terms of Use!
