Self-portraits are an important part of art history. Artists have drawn themselves many times to practice painting and drawing. Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, and Andy Warhol are a few of the many artists who have created portraits of themselves. 

Typography is an important part of web design. Choosing fonts correctly should define you as a professional web designer. This project will help you to manipulate font.
