We will create a couple custom shapes and I will show you how to fill an area with type. After this you will do the following on your own:
1. Go to photobooth and take a photo of yourself (with muted volume). Don't worry if it's not "good" you will be so photoshopped you won't be able to recognize yourself! Drag it onto the desktop.
2. Open the file in photoshop. Unlock the background (double click on the layer) and then go to "posterize" under adjustments. Posterize yourself until you look very graphic in black and white. You could have clear areas of black, and clear areas of white and not many greys in between. Under filters you can try a gausion blur to make the posterize not so harsh. If you have too many greys then up the contrast. When you are happy save it as a jpeg on your desktop.
3. Now open the picture in inDesign. Trace all the areas of black with the pentool. Fill the area with placeholder text using the area type tool. Continue to individually fill in all the black areas (or vice versa try white). Your end product should look something like this: To avoid the black outline, make sure you don't have a colour selected under the stroke.
