Week 5.2: Onto the Computer

I initially decided to look at quotes and sayings to gather up effective metaphors that are considerably well known but aren't considered a cliche. From there I drew up a few concepts and after yet another discussion with one of the lecturers it was decided that my 'Words have power' sword idea was the strongest and most resolved.

I went on to drawing up variations of the layout with varying amounts of swords etc but I decided that my first idea with just the one sword was the most effective and simplistic. I had fun with exploring different render iterations on the computer gathering three strong concepts:

• Vector based layered type
• Grunge / eroded type
• Colour-in child-like style (hinting more toward the cyber bullying aspect)

I struggled with selecting only two of my developments to show in class as I felt there were at least three strong ones. However I ended up settling on one vector based type with a light background and a grunge with a dark background so there was a bit a contrast between the two.
