A brand new Kickstarter project from Graphic Designer – Paul Kettlewell, after 20 years in the design industry Paul brings you – Words from pictures – A project that aims to bring iconic personalities to life through images made from the inspirational words of the individuals featured.
Words from pictures is a conceptual poster reproduction technique – developed by myself that re-creates the image of a person from their actual spoken words.
It utilises a number of design techniques gained from over 20 years as a practicing graphic designer – the techniques from an entire suite of software have been blended together in a production formula that creates a uniquely creative design.
Words from pictures came about from the inspirational speeches made by many people throughout history, political, sportsmen and women, celebrities, filmstars, popstars … the list is endless …
This first Kickstarter project is based on a political theme – and feature the following political figures and their speeches:
Martin Luther King, August 28, 1963 – I have a dream
Nelson Mandela, May 10, 1994 – Inaugural speech
