Typographic assignment

This is my Typographic Self-Portrait! I used only letters and symbols within this whole assignment except for the outline of my face; which I made with the paintbrush tool. I chose to keep it simple and unique... a way I would descibe myself sometimes. Generally I ran into little difficulties with this piece... the lips were probally what gave me the hardest time; they didn't look like lips my first couple of attemps. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my eyes, which in fact are "d"s laid on their side (ooo so creative)... Overall I'm happy with the way it turned out, it was a fun assignment and it actually looks like me... somewhat.
