Our Graphic Design students recently dove into a creative tutorial inspired by artist Robin Reed, learning how to craft stunning text portraits. Using Photoshop or Photopea, they combined images of their own faces with words that describe them, transforming and warping the text to create unique, expressive pieces. The final results were nothing short of spectacular—a powerful blend of art and self-expression!
