Assignment 2: Madison Houghton: Autumn music

I took this photo last year on campus, and posted it via Instagram which gave it the edited look. I searched through the internet to find this quote, then created an opaque black box to keep it in. The box gives it a contained feeling which I like. I went through several fonts until I found this one (Iowan Old Style - italic), which I like because of the slant of the words, as well as the thickness. I wanted it to be thick lettering but not too thick, something that reflects the ideas of autumn, and that a lot of other graphics use to keep that feeling of autumn. I also decided to go with an orangey/grey off-white color because white was too bold. Autumn is about bold colors, but not white bold, so I wanted to keep that theme within the image.

Ps the quote is from Shakespeare

Pps I commented on Courtney Johansson, Clarissa Oliphant, Taylor Ricks, Austin DeLaMare, and Miranda Facer

Assignment #2 - James Birdsall - Simple Moments

I feel like this picture captures a special moment. It's moments like these that we often overlook. Sometimes a wonder as simple as running through sprinklers is lost when we grow up. I wanted the text to reflect the moment. I made it small because I wanted it to be easily overlooked. In order to read it, you have to focus. I also kept the text fairly simple to keep with the theme of the photo.

I commented on: Mallory Jesperson, Sydney Walton, Maren Owen, Morgan Linford, Spencer Evans.
