The Beauty Of Name Art

Name art refers to the activity of printing your name in a creative manner using media other than simple text. This could be pictures arranged in a particular way so as to read out the name or hidden alphabets in intricate artwork. The bottom line is that name art expresses names in a rather artsy way as opposed to the conventional method of writing them out in plain text. Name art is widely used in name paintings and customized gifts especially for weddings, birthdays, baby showers and the like.
There are several types of name art and each one has its own unique flair that makes it stand out and aesthetically appealing.
Chinese Calligraphy

The Chinese script is known for its flamboyance and use of alphabets which are intricate symbols. Each one of them is a work of art and that is acknowledged by anyone familiar with the language. The art of calligraphy can be extended to name art wherein your name is put forward in a rather artistic manner with strokes and curves that resemble the Chinese lettering. The original calligraphy was done with leather brushes but digital art can render names in Chinese style characters in a jiffy and they look almost the same.
Picture Representations

This form of name art uses pictures of the same kind arranged so that they read as alphabets. For example, something simple such as a leaf is repeatedly arranged to look like the letters of the alphabet. Depending upon the place where the name art is needed, the appropriate picture is chosen. While this form looks attractive, it is definitely not the best option as it might not be appropriate in all cases, especially if something formal needs to be attractive. There is no restriction to the number of pictures that can be used here. For a more conservative design it is best to limit it to two but if you are looking to go all out, then use as many as needed.
Hidden Lettering

Hidden lettering is the art of hiding text in a picture in a subtle yet revealing way. Usually, the letters are arranged in such a way as to show up only when viewed in a particular angle or in the right light. These letters can be hidden in their true form or with a bit of distortion so as to fit the image properly. For example, the text could be hidden in the water in a photo of the sea as a subtle boat in the distance. Name art of this form is not advisable when gifting as it is rather ambiguous but when worked right, it can be a unique form of expression and its creativity is unbeaten.
Artistic Text
Artistic Text
As the name suggests, this form of name art is nothing more than a more artistic way of writing out letters. Be it blockier or a cursive form, text can be written out in a colorful way that is more eye-catchy. Text logos are the most common form of name art. In fact, some of the most popular brands in the world are recognized by their logo, which is often just the name written out in a rather appealing way. Such brands include KFC, Reebok, Dell Computers, which are all globally recognized and popular too.
