‘Burdened’ Obama Time Cover

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

An amazing portrait created by Dylan Roscover for TIME magazine. It consists of 12,680 individual characters set in about 20 hours, or 10.5 characters per minute and includes type from Obama’s campaign and branding: Gotham, Knockout No. 48, Gill Sans, and Perpetua.

This was featured on the Table of Contents page of the February 1st, 2010 edition of TIME Magazine. It is brilliant not just because of the unique use of typography but also in the manner it captures the zeitgeist of our troubled times. Click through to view large.

Hongkiat shares many more such brilliant art pieces created using typography. There is much beauty even in the seemingly mundane objects like fonts.

If he’s so “burdened” he shouldn’t have asked for the job.
Reagan faced worse, and he did it with style and aplomb.

@Chris Wysocki: LOL! I don’t think anyone apart from a Republican fringe is asking him to be impeached. He could be ‘burdened’ and serve another term.
And of course, Reagan worship. Get over it. Find a new role model. He wasn’t as great as you make him out to be.
And this post was about typography and art. Thanks for injecting your ideology where it doesn’t belong.
