Type - Texture & Scale

In the title, I took the word Lines and made many lines in the background, incorporating what the word signifies. With the other words, I decided to put them in the foreground on top of the lines with the word lines missing, which can be found in the background, creating texture. I thought that I wouldn’t need to put the word Lines because if someone decides to walk toward the paper from far away, they would see the word Lines. The starting word “how” and the ending word “cross” are both the same text point, which would be interesting since “how” makes up the question and the end word carries across to an answer.

Text- Scale & Movement

I wanted to play with the scale change of the words or letters with “politician” being the biggest alongside “lines”. From a distance the word “a” is missing, however, from close up the “a” can be seen. I thought, “what would go through someone’s mind if the a is really small?”. A is just one letter too. I wanted the scale change to have dynamic movement.

Type - Contrast in Weight, Structure, Form

Since politicians write papers and are heavily into their documents, I made a document out the word “lines”. I considered putting the title in the center of the line document, however, I felt it would be awkward without a border to define the picture made from words. I used the text tool on a path made from the pen tool to type words around the picture.

Type - Contrast in Weight, Structure, Form

We had the option of playing around with any of the font weights relating to our font choice. I used all the weights I could in making this page starting with the lowest weight to the highest with the word “lines” in a line. How is italicized to emphasize a question while many is bigger and bolder to justify the amount of lines. Politician has different weights and font-styles that represent that a politician can be anyone. The question ends with an italicized condensed “cross” to reflect on how the word “how” is treated in the beginning of the question.

Type - Texture

All of the papers I’ve done based on one title have all been black on white paper. I thought I could twist things up a bit with white text on black paper. I chose a paragraph from the article, changed the color to white and added a rectangular black box in the background rather than putting in words that do not correlate to the title. In a way, having text from the actual article becomes an eye catcher because the title in the foreground, has people questioning “what’s the text in the back?”.

Type - Density

I was given the opportunity to work on the density of the text, which I think was the most fun when working on the title. I scrunched up words, lines and paragraphs together to create density. In a way, the density of the text also created texture. I went with a dynamic approach with the title by rotating the line of text and having them be bold, contrasting with the condensed smaller text. The placement of the text creates movement from the left-hand side of the page down to the lower right-hand side.

Type - Density

Playing around with density of the text, I made the title bold and stacked it. As the title gets closer to the center, the titles slowly merge into one another. The same goes for the large paragraph at the bottom. I wanted to make movement flow through with lines of text stacked on top of each other. The center becomes a border or a barrier that prevents the lines of text from passing, which gives off the impression that the lines are stacking because of the white space in the center.
