Typographical Conveyance

"The conveyances that reach us through what we see are capable of nothing less than shaping the way we perceive, feel about, view and react to our entire sphere of reality" -Krause

The purpose of this activity was to create our own typographical conveyance using a list of given words.

The first word I had was shred. I decided to use a a font with an added texture. The texture used creates a separated appearance within the white font. This makes each letter look like it has been shredded.

The next word I had was lightly. Something light is always very delicate and sheer therefore I decided to use a script font as a light yellow color. I decreased the opacity as well added a blur around the outlining of the font. 

In order to convey the word atom I Googled an image of it. I then decided to use a circle of an atom as the O in the word "atom". I created each circle with the shape tool and then colored in each shape red. 

When thinking of the word brick I think of something strong, and thick. I created a rectangle shape on the top and bottom of this image to make to word brick appear like it is between an actual brick. The font I used appears very strong and bold and I think the color black further emphasizes the strength of the word. 

For the word pillow I decided to find an image of a sleeping baby because they are the most delicate representations for this word that I could think of. Using a slightly italicized font and placing the word underneath the baby's head emphasizes the softness of the word.

For the last word XXL I decided to create something growing in largeness by taking the word and increasing the size in order left to right. I liked the font I used because there is an outer shadow that helps show viewers the growth in size. 

Overall I am very happy with my final creations. I think that each image I created accurately represents the words. I liked this assignment a lot because it made me have to think how else can I represent a word through a visual representation.
