Fonts and Images

September 15, 2013, 10:29 PM.

First I want to talk about Wednesday's class, when we analyzed images and words and then played around with fonts.

I liked to see everyone's individual interpretations of words like "explosive" or "beauty".  The way we grow up and learn to understand these words can make our choice of fonts very similar or very different.  It reminds me of the fact that we will never be able to fully understand each other simply because the meaning behind a word can be completely different depending on who is hearing it.

Now about the image and word pairs that I put together: those required a bit of thought, too.

Choosing words for my muffin picture was a little tough.  I confess I did not think hard about the image before I chose it, opting to challenge myself to come up with fitting words.  Some were alright, while others don't make total sense.  Overall, I don't think these combinations are amazing.  But I did my best.

As for finding pictures to fit the word "breathe", I had a lot of fun!  The pictures are so different in intent and mood that put together, they create a dark and humorous contrast.  I'm not sure exactly what my method was... I basically Googled "breathe" and similar words, looking for interesting meanings.  I'm happy with them.
