Alphabet soup - illustrating with letters.

Welcome to another helping of badlandian joy, this time we have a steaming hot alphabet soup to feast your eyes on, with a side dish of texted portraits. For all of you who wanted to know what happens when art directors stop being polite, and start using that "spray image" tool in freehand....

Possibly the first one, hands down the coolest anyway since it moves, and it's webancient , Bob Dylan (and other artists) faces appear written by the lyrics they sing.
Watch it in action here @ ni9e.com.

Finalists in 2004 for 'illustration and graphic techniques' in the Epica awards, SCP created this campaign for the Göteborg Symphonic Orchestra. Illustrated by Eva Lilja.

And most recently (I presume, since I was just emailed this example.) - Spainish WWF campaign.
I do not know when this campaign 'aired' in any case, so don't jump to conclusions.

Another 2004 Epica nominee worth mentioning in this context is DDB Paris "Mohammed Ali" for L'EQUIPE. I can't tell if the text spelling our Alis face here is from "when we were Kings" or what is going on here really though. Still. Same-ish.

Know of any others?
