Content Enhanced Word Art with Depth Perception

Abstract

Word art has characteristics of both text and an image by combining words into a collage that depicts an associated shape or object. This type of artwork has the unique perceptual property that when seen as a whole, it is perceived similar to an image, but when viewing a part, it can be read word by word. Thus word art can serve a dual purpose, efficiently communicating a theme using shape, and accurately communicating meaning using text.
