We saw this magnificent typographical portrait of Steve Jobs by Dylan Roscover coming since 2007. Maybe not this work specifically, but works like this. Roscover’s “Steve Paul Jobs” is one of the best examples of typographical portraits in evolution for the last couple of years. The question is whether this is the pinnacle of the typographical portrait or is it awaiting another refined mutation of design genius?
Now let’s clear the table for a mini rant. I found this piece on a website that will remain unnamed. Granted, the original posting features a great collection of typographical portraits to date, but it fails to name the designers it compiled these works from.
This is not a huge misdeed in itself, unless you consider that the website also compiles all the works into a zip file for easy download and distribution. Furthermore, this site couches itself as a graphic design site. I find it unfortunate that a site about design, fails to recognize or acknowledge the designers behind the designs, which are offered up as blog candy.
Luckily, I finally found Dylan Roscover’s name by Googling the right terms, but let’s give credit to all the places it’s due.
