Hozier typographic portrait
Project Type
Typography
Date
2024
I've included the original photo the typographic portrait was based on, the black, white, and grey tone version of that photo that was used to create the outlines for the typographic portrait, and the final version of the typographic version.
The overall concept for this portrait was to highlight the soft ambiance that Hozier and his music emulates. From his lyrics to his activism, Hozier is a very caring person that wants people to love their neighbors and enjoy the world around them and I wanted to try to portray his personality and the ambiance of his music with this typographic portrait. The original photo that was used for the portrait has a lot of browns, so I tried to tie that in with the colors I used for the different areas like the hair and jacket which also helped to create more depth and make it easier to distinguish the different parts of the portrait. I used lyrics from his original albums and his most recent ones that highlighted relationships and love and made sure to make his most popular ones, and my personal favorites, as bigger fonts so they’d be easier to read for the people that don’t want to try to read every word.
