Illustrated Quote Analysis- Nova

For the visually enhanced quotation assignment I decided to use the quote “ Live Long And Prosper” said by Spock on the classic T.V Sci-Fi series Star Trek. The illustration I choose to use as a reflection of that famous quote was the Vulcan sign that Spock does as he says that quote in the series, the sign is just the shape of a V using his right hand. For the lettering I decided to use Baskerville bold as It has become one o my favorite typefaces due to a previous assignment. The boldness of the letter helps to compliment the bold lines of the hand that is in the picture that I used for the Vulcan sign. I decided to put each of the word going across the 4 fingers used in the Vulcan sign as to create a sense of direction when you’re reading the quote from left to right which I believe really helps draws people’s attention to the quote. In doing this assignment I learned how important not only typefaces are in helping to compliment the picture but to give a stronger or weaker presence for the word overall. I also learned how important placement is because if your word are not placed correctly on a picture, the image can often drag the audience attention away from the quote and perhaps give the quote less meaning in the process where as the right placement helps the quote give itself and the picture a stronger meaning.
