Drawing with Typography Project

Investigate:
I am planning on doing Drawing with Typography. I don't have to do much research because I already know what drawing with typeography.I am going to do a picture of some sort of makeup item but I dont know exactly what . These are the picture I have in my mind.

Plan:

I am going to a picture of lipstick and add words on it. The base will have all the snymmons used with the word beauty. The middle will have the names of the famous beauty magazines for women. I will also have the word lipstick on it to show what I drew with my words. Finally the top I will the word that most  is associated with the color red which is love. At the end I will outline the whole thing.

The only problem that I had with this project was getting the text to look like what I wanted to. Not all text would fit so I had to go back and resize a lot. Also the line tool I couldn't get the curves I wanted so I had to use the shape tool. Other than that I really liked the project. The best thing I liked about this project was the layers in photoshop. It made it so much easier to move things without moving things I didn't want to move. I could Move each individual letters.

 How would you define Typography? Is it more than just words? Tell me your thoughts/feelings on typography.





The official definitation of typography is 
1.     the art or process of printing with type.

2.

the work of setting and arranging types and of printing fromthem.

3.

the general character or appearance of printed matter

but in my opinion its when you decide how you want you font to look like. Basically the design and details of the font. Yes its more than just words. Its how the words look like at the end. It may be bold or elegant, or block letters whatever, it just how the font looks like. I like this very much with a bunch of texts you can create any image you have in mind and how it may look like, is it tall or short or elegent, colofful.
