Subway art
In this project I created 'Subway Art'. In this I required a quote of significance that has some meaning to me. So I grabbed a quote from a good friend of mine who told me something that I remember every day. We took the quote and a number of different TYPES of font and put them in a Illustrator file to create a pretty sweet looking piece of art. The tools that were used were pretty obvious: Type, Move, Basic Shape and some special windows like type and paragraph to manipulate the text. What I loved about this project is putting little hints to things within the quote; like the background being black, white text, and the one pink 'yourself'. It was fun creating subway art especially taking the text and making it look cool. I made most of my piece talk, because it isn't much of a "Hey I'm loud, listen to what I'm saying to you!" kind of quote. In fact, majority of the manipulated pieces of text were meant to whisper an emphasize. But with my final results, it isn't what I dreamed it could be. I definitely would like it to be better and have more narrow and snug, but I thought that would ruin the quote or the font I decided to use (also that would probably be super hard given the font I'm using.).
