Daily Deviation
Given 2010-01-27Burdened by ~dylanroscover
Also suggested by *Taro13 who says: "Dylan Roscover is a brilliant graphic designer who creates a wide variety of striking digital media pieces. This portrait of Obama uses typography to expertly illustrate the pressure and incredible burdens our president has to deal with while in office. The craftsmanship and composition of this typography portrait is remarkable and definitely deserves a standing ovation"
And by =PatrickRuegheimer: "This is stunning, the use of dark and bright fonts gives this a real great 3D contrast."
What should I say more? Dylan is a young and experienced Text Art designer. Ever since he got his first DD here (which was almost a year ago), tons of people got inspired by him. It's with great honor to give him a Daily Deviation again, and I really recommend you to watch him. I'm sure you'll hear his name even more often in the future. He's a Text Art designer that will never disappoint you! ( Suggested by liadys and Featured by Sander-Seto )

dylanroscover
And thanks for the hint about using type on a path in Illustrator. I now have the motivation to learn more about that tool.
Have a nice day,
I don't know how to send you a message so i'm posting it in your comments.
I'm starting a website, and while I am decent in photoshop I am as nowhere close in skill as you are, and I need a logo / image made out of typography.
I was wondering if you would be willing to work with me to come up with something nice.
If you're interested; shoot me a message and we'll discuss the terms, and payment.
Or email me @
313Society@gmail.com
with this image / a portfolio so I know who you are.
