Stumbled upon an awesome Photoshop/Illustrator guide last night, decided to take a crack at it. This should be relatively familiar from the Obama campaign posters in 2008.
Create an Inspirational Vector Political Poster:

It’s a really good tutorial, the author clearly listed each step required. I kinda underestimated the effort required to do this one, but I stuck it out. Ended up taking me 5 or 6 hours to do, there’s quite a bit of tedious work involved in tracing all the different images of your head to get the desired effect.
Here’s the photo the author used in his tutorial, along with the finished product:
