ICONCLAST make-over

[Brewpastor]

perhaps the challenge is part of the enjoyment

i think it's a great idea

I agree. It is a bit like the rest of my life, always in process, never complete, always needing a nap...

question, why are determined to have a picture in the type?
Doing this is very hard to make it readable and require a lot of knowledge on type, perspective, colory theory, shadows, etc.
I congratulate you for trying, but it is still hard to read...and even tougher to see the picture

I had one of these projects in one of my design classes and it was very tough.

I don't know. I have just had the idea for a LONG time (like 15 years!) and figured I should deal with it. It is hard, but it also isn't tied up in anybody else's deadlines, so it is fun. Thanks for the encouragement and perspectives!

Thought I might show some examples of what Brewpastor's going for:

And even more...

That is the ticket! Very cool. Thanks.

I see your vision in this. I just wish I had artistic skills to help. I think this will give some of the others around here the idea and they can help you out better.

one thing I'm noticing in all but one of those examples is this: a black border (with or without drop shadow) and a thin white space separating it from the inside image. This seems to make it pop.

I can't figure out how to get the images in the font like the postcards above and keep the white outline.

Here's an alternative design.
