Yep, that's right. In his Textportraits series, Manheim-based artist Ralph Ueltzhoefer uses words randomly selected from the internet to generate portraits of many well-known faces including Barack Obama, Pablo Picasso, and Steve Jobs.

Ueltzhoefer believes that "typography is an art form in itself that combines carefully chosen and arranged fonts with visual elements, sometimes as a relatively straightforward communication device and sometimes as artistic expression."

Indeed.

It's right here in Boston, too – specifically, Mission Hill School, a public elementary school in the city's Roxbury neighborhood. Their empathy-based culture and curriculum focuses on learning essential life skills every responsible citizen of the world needs, as well as building students' collaborative – versus competitive – abilities. As such, the school emphasizes the development of these "5 Habits of Mind" –

Evidence: How do you know?

Conjecture: What if things were different?

Connections: What does it remind you of?

Relevance: Is it important? Why does it matter?

Viewpoint: What would someone else say? How would someone else feel?

Questions we should all be asking daily in our world of advertising and branding, no?

This is legit.
