Project 365. This post is part of my Project 365 where I am taking one photo every day for a year. Click here to see all of my photos in the series. (All photos taken with a Nikon D7000 or with an iPhone. :)) This is my last roundup of the year-- soon I'll be posting a roundup of my favorite photos! :) BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO...

BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO... The Polaroid Project :: An international community exploring what it means to live life to the fullest. Words as Images by Ji Lee. Whenever we read a news story, book, letter, or any other form of text our brain relates specific words with previously seen images.

By accessing our past memories, like a hard drive, our brain is able to create a visual illustration simply out of words. Taking this one step further, Ji Lee eliminates the need for our brain to do this process. Ji Lee takes popular words and brings them to life by adding a sense of character, fun and playfulness to them.

“When we were children, letters were like fun toys. We played with them through our building blocks. We colored them in books. We danced and sang along with TV puppets while learning C was for “cookie.” Today we will feature creative examples from Ji’s book titled “Word As Image.” “This project started nearly twenty years ago as an assignment in my typography class at art school. Anyone can create a word as image. Note: All Rights Reserved by Ji Lee. Check out our previous articles: Did you enjoy this article?
