So this is what I chose to do for our free assignment and it is hand-lettering. This is something we started at a class one day (well a three person class) and I never got around to finishing. I decided to complete it and because I hand-lettering one of the aspects I enjoy most about graphic design, I figured this would be appropriate. It simply stated 'knowledge is power' and has an image of a lightbulb. The latter part of the word 'knowledge' is made to look like the filament in the lightbulb and is lighting up the lightbulb to associate knowledge with literal power and electricity. I chose these fonts with some help from the internet but I find I'm gravitating towards fonts like the cursive one more often now that I've had a chance to look at many fonts. This was also the first time I've incorporated colour into one of my designs but still kept it fairly simplistic and this way the yellow really pops.

For this assignment I went looking all over the internet for a quote and after coming up with nearly nothing, I finally stumbled across this one. "Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble" is a quote from Macbeth I believe, where a witch says it. Considering witches are associated with Halloween and Halloween happens to fall in the season of autumn, I figured I would use this quote. Thankfully it was 10 words long and most people do know this quote well, and associate it with Halloween. My image for this assignment was the cauldron and the bubbles coming from it. This is obviously because the last bit of the quote is 'cauldron bubble'. My repetiton can be found in the colour scheme, the flames that are repeated along the middle, the bubbles, and the cursive font repeated. Finally I took my photo of a witch holding my design to connect further to the halloween/witch theme. |
