Word Art

Good books. Beautiful images.

The idea (via Wired) of using the full text of a book to make an image intrigues me, and I'm clearly not the only one (see here, here, and here for example). Of the ones I've seen so far I particularly like Steve Jobs Tribute, The King James Bible, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

I may well end up with something like this on my wall someday, although I'm not sure I've found the correct book/design pairing yet.

I suppose the concept, and perhaps the appeal, is similar to photomosaics.
