I took this photo in Sendenhorst, Germany not too long ago. After watching an enormous factory burn down about a 1/2 mile from our home, my friends and I set out to escape the smoke and find some peace. This Ernest Hemingway quote I have inserted sums up that day perfectly. I chose to use two fonts to create emphasis. The first was good old "Baskerville Old Face" which is a transitional serif font. Being an older font, Baskerville seems credible, which makes the quote more believable. I then used a more modern, sans-serif font called "Freestyle Script". The font is slightly slanted and appears more youthful than Baskerville, creating a nice contrast. My call to action is pretty clear, since the quote is a command, but I think it is a genuine command that many of us forget to obey.

I love the soft lighting, rich colors, lines along the dock, and basically just everything about this picture. The quote fits really well with it too, it has a strong emotional appeal. Great job!

ReplyDeleteThis pic is very pinteresting! Great use of boardwalk to guide into a very great text. I'm glad you made 'happy' in an upbeat, happy text.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast and lighting that you used. Its very in-your-face and powerful.
ReplyDeleteThe text goes great with the image. It gives a very relaxing overall feel.
ReplyDeleteI really like your use of two different fonts to put emphasis on happy
ReplyDeleteGreat composition with both the image and the text. It all looks very professional. Only thing I might modify is keeping the text between the white lines so "soul" doesn't cross over. Love it!
