As palavras por trás das imagens

Dizem que uma imagem pode valer por mil palavras. Huy Lam resolveu criar imagens a partir de palavras. O que à primeira vista parecem ilustrações feitas à lápis ou giz, na verdade merece um olhar mais atento. E, conforme nos aproximamos, palavras são reveladas. O retrato de Nelson Mandela, por exemplo, foi feito com as palavras “my hero”, já que o líder sul-africano é o herói do artista, enquanto Darth Vader foi feito com “not my father”.



Che Guevara foi ilustrado como “bought a T-shirt”, já que Huy Lam comprou aquela camiseta que todo mundo conhece, retratando o revolucionário.


Van Gogh, “genius”.


Segundo o próprio Huy Lam explica em seu site, seu objetivo ao utilizar palavras por trás das imagens é provocar reflexão, discussões e até mesmo risadas.

Relationship Violence PSA Created in Honor of Yeardly Love

CapturFiles-Sep-24-2012_03.52.04.jpg

The One Love Foundation, in partnership with the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and the Michael and Kim Ward Foundation, have launched “Be 1 For Change,” a new campaign to combat relationship violence among 16 – 24 year olds. Created by Renegade Communications, the campaign is in honor of Yeardley Love, the University of Virginia Student who was murdered by her boyfriend.

A new PSA introduces a Danger Assessment App that aims to function as a relationship violence threat assessment aid.

The one minute PSA depicts a violent relationship between a college-aged couple – in a glass fishbowl scenario – and how the One Love Danger Assessment app can be used by friends of the victim to help them. Rather than standing idly by and doing nothing to help.
