Form and Content, Word and Image

Talk about word and image juxtaposed, the other day, my co-worker showed my boss posters based on classic novels.  On these posters, designed by Postertext, were images inspired by these classic works, only, instead of the picture being made up of lines and colors, they were made up of the first few chapters of the text.

Although text really actually is "lines" that just form letters, I thought it extremely interesting how form and content seemed to be switched.  Where the picture was the content, but the form it came in was in "words".

Here, I'll let you have a look:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer uses the ENTIRE text from the book!  Isn't that amazing?  Go get your reading glasses!

Moby Dick

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

They even have a couple posters designed from other inspirations - you can go look and find out for yourself.
