FONT POEM


I chose this particular quote because it represents part of my personality. I strive to leave a lasting impression in whatever task I am focusing my efforts, so this quote by Coco Chanel (who is unforgettable) really spoke to me.

I chose to keep most of the fonts similar to one another in an effort to evoke the Chanel symbol, so they are all Helvetica Inserat.I did modify the font with "irreplaceable" by making it glow and changing it to Helvetica LT Std. Also "must" has shading. These two words were changed because I wanted to emphasize them. Also, each letter in "different" is a unique font in order to portray the meaning of the word.

I arranged the words the way I did because they are Coco Chanel's words and I wanted the phrase to appear to be the Chanel fashion symbol.

Problems that I encountered during this project were choosing a phrase and then deciding how to lay out the words. In the end, I chose a quote from a person I admire and tried not to go too crazy thinking about the layout. I am most proud of using my creativity and having figured out the Photoshop program.

If i had more time I would test out different fonts within the quote and work more on making the "C"s as symmetrical as possible.
