Assignment #2 Collin Gingrich- Breathe


I took this picture by Utah lake, and when I looked at it without the typography it made me think of a cool breath of fresh air. Everything looks crisp and bright. Nature is a great de-stressor for me and I wanted to share that in this image. The fence in the bottom left corner of the picture is symbolic of the barriers that stop us from appreciating God's creations. I chose this font because it was simple and seemed very open. I chose white text so that the letters would match the colors of the clouds. I also increased the spacing between the letters to make the message seem more relaxed and peaceful.

I commented on Mallory Jesperson, Morgan Linford, Lexi Erickson, Miranda Facer, and Jordan Miki Wheeler

  1. First off the visual is quite breathtaking... not a pun. the way the clouds are moving to the right is perfect for the type you used. breathe. simple not complicated, not trying to force me to think about anything just giving me the ability to interpret it as i will. i love it.

  2. This is a really cool picture. The angle is really aesthetically pleasing and I love how simple your text is. It's very calming and doesn't overwhelm the overall picture.

  5. The visual itself is quite beautiful, but I think it is enhanced by the typography. The font is very simple and relaxed. I like how the text stands out against the dark mountains, and how the directions of the wheat draws your eyes to it. I also thought it was ingenious that your text got bigger at the end as if you were slowly exhaling.

    I commented on the assignments of James Birdsall (Come Unto Me), Taylor Ricks (Escape), Clarissa Oliphant (Tis' the Season), Jordan Wheeler (Drown), and Collin Gingrich (Breathe).

  6. What I like about this is the fact that you made it. Also, the font gets bigger just like the clouds. I dig.

  7. The colors on this are gorgeous. And the fact that you just said "Breathe" makes me feel like I can take a deep breath of this air and it would feel awesome.

  8. This makes me just want to go and get some fresh air, and the words look like they're breathing.

  9. The photo has nice composition and colors. I like how you used the text on top of the dark mountain, it makes it pop.
