This project was challenging but fun. The quote I picked was “Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven. I chose this quote because it was bold, strong, and had good contrasting words. I thought the best typeface for this quote was Baskerville because the curves and serifs made it seem strong but not too modern or too soft.

I had a quote I liked as well as the typeface, but I was having a hard time deciding on an image that would really complete the package. Picking the image and formatting both elements was what made it a challenge. In the end I decided to pick something more abstract and simple. The triangle and contrasting colors I incorporated really encompassed the meaning of the quote.

What I really learned that’s valuable for the future was not to get stuck on the first design. Even though I went with my first design, I learned that venturing out pushed me to be creative in other ways and combining new ideas into another design was really helpful.
