While working on this project I worked with two different images before I got to the one I used. The two images, at first, I thought could work with the quote I used “What stands in the way becomes the way.” One of the image was of a forest and the other of a guy rock climbing but it was really hard to connect the quote with the image. I decided to look for another image and I came across one of a sculpture of Marcus Aurelius.

The sculpture is a distorted face of Marcus Aurelius, it is broken on the right top side and bottom left. I used the spaces left to place the quote. On the right top side of the image I place the longest part of the quote using Helvetica. The word “what” and “stands” I kind of distorted, the words “in the way” I wrote vertically by the border of the sculpture to use the whole space.

On the bottom left side I wrote “becomes the way” across the space left by the sculpture. I used a color red for the word “way” to put emphasis on the way that word close the quote. I also thought that the color red was a good contrast with the shadows of the sculpture. This assignment it was great to understand the spacing and explore ideas, good practice for creativity.
