Typographical Conveyance

For this assignment we were asked to convey a particular feeling in a creative way through different words portrayed and use the strategies I've learned so far. I wanted to "reflect the meaning of the words they portray."

For "BRICK" I wanted the color to have a rusty brown color similar to actual brick and make the texture of the word the same.

For "lightly" I made the word appear very faint and a light blue. I did this to represent if someone were to write something very light and without much force or effort.

For "pillow" I wanted to word to appear fluffy and cloud-like. So changed the gradient of the background to fade from blue to white and made the lettering match as best as I could.

For "shred" I used puppet warp for all of the letters to make it appear very out of place and rough-looking. I also took the smudge tool and went used it to make the letters appear smeared.

For "XXL" I had the idea from an old sweatshirt that I used to have. There were huge letters in the middle of it with the name of a local team I used to play for. I used black and red because I feel that they are masculine colors and XXL is geared towards masculinity.

For "atom" I changed the text to have light colors that were easy on the eye. I then added rings around the word to represent an atom and used similar colors for the rings.
