Word As Image

By Ji Lee

Book Overview

Challenge- Create an image out of a word, using only the letters in the word itself. Rule- Use only the graphic elements of the letters without adding outside parts. Word as Image invites you to see letters beyond their utilitarian dullness. It's about discovering the magic behind the unique shapes and infinite possibilities of letters and words. This book showcases nearly 100 of Ji Lee's head-scratching word images, along with tips to help you create your own and share them at www.wordasimage.com. 'I dearly love this book.
