Typography

I wanted my words to look depressing but eye catching at the same time. The word TORN should be the most eye catching because of it's black and white contrast and it being in the center of the picture. It is also torn up into pieces to add emphasis to the meaning.

 The other 2 words, confused, and lost should be the second most noticeable words on the page. They have much less contrast intensity, but they are surrounded by the contrast effects, making them pop out more.

Probably the most noticeable OBJECT on the page, is the black line to the upper middle of the picture. That should bring out some more words I want you to see like, "Cannot find". It also helps the overall mood of the picture. For all the little text you can barely read, I used coding and then added some words that appear more visible, like "lost" and "404". Words that you may find in the coding should be the things you notice later on.

I started out with just the big typed words, TORN, ConfuseD, and lost, and I tore them out of the paper. I ripped more pieces from the paper to add some detail. After the placement and scanning, I photoshopped it with mostly the sharpen tool all over the page. This gave the intense contrast effect. Then I added the inverted colored lines to help move your eyes where they should be and to fill empty spaces. Finally I added coding from a website, added and modified some words.

One thing I discovered is the invert colors adjustment. That really helps with making things pop out.

This is my Typography project with the theme being Depression. This is before it was shopped.
