Text Art Part Three: Textorizer, Textorizer 2, & Excoffizer

I have mixed feeling towards these websites. I didn't venture far into obscuring the image with text because I really wanted to be able to still distinguish the image. As I changed the settings, I like it less and less for the image to become more fragmented as the text settings changed. I know we are supposed to use an image that we've taken during the course but I wanted to use a different picture to mix up the content of my images. I used another image of myself for Textorizer. I played around with the settings and fonts and whatnot and found something very pleasing to me.
The second image I used was for Textorizer 2. I persoanlly didn't see a difference between Textorizer and Textorizer 2, so if anyone know the difference please let me know. I used my 'Vouchers Welcome' image from my urban landscape assignment. The window for which this image comes from was an exchange store for appliances. This like vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, refrigerators, and yard appliances like lawn mowers, leaf vacuums, and so on. Although, there were none of these things in the store. It was pretty much emptied of everything and even partly gutted, I assume for remodeling.

My third imaged utilized Excoffizer. This website turned your image into a image made up of crazy lines. When you initally open Excoffizer, the default image provided is of Salvador Dali, a surrealist artist with an amazing mustache. The lines that make up the image is flowing and make the image flux like looking at one of the hypnotic spirals. I used another image from my urban landscape assignment. I didn't get too crazy with my lines but I was happy with my results. I get a candy stripe vibe from this image or of an old school candy poster.
