Illustrated Quote Analysis

Xin Lin

For this project, I planed to use my motto” Live fast, die young, and have a good-looking corpse”.  However, when I found the picture I want to use, and tried to sketch the thumbnails, I noticed the quote may be too long for the design. So I cut the sentence off, and it turned out really nice. The most difficult parts of this assignment for are the type face and letter spacing. The color I decided to use for the letters worked well, but the letter spacing gave me a hard time. I tried several different spacing, and they either made it looks too messy or run all over the place. The type face I used was Bodoni book. I tried all the five typefaces and the different form of them before I decided to use bodoni book. This typeface matched well with my picture, a record. It iwa simple and the color made it stands out and harmony with the image.
