Graphics: Day 3

We scanned our backgrounds on to the computer to add our type, and edit the images.

This was my my first initial idea for 'consume'. I filled the image of lips from the magazine in white to make them less obvious and then added the text I designed from my thumbnails. When making this though It still felt too obvious for me so I experimented more with the image.

This was the final outcome, I took the lips away completely and changed the colour scheme. The letters now look as if they have been chewed up and consumed without the lips being there to tell you that. I like the colour scheme a lot more as it reminds me of a throat with the pinks which again links back to consuming.

This is my final image for 'Rapid'. I again changed the colour scheme to avoid obviousness and I created the type myself by warping the text in Photoshop and then duplicating and layering it, I liked the final outcome.

Final image for 'Stability'. I had two final backgrounds for this word as I had two different ideas, but I settled with the chain one. Chains are meant to be strong and stable and I also created a DNA shape from them, again to represent stability. I created the type in Photoshop from a basic font then I painted in sections to link each of the letters together so they were all connected this enforced my representation of stability. I wasn't fully sure of where to place the type within the image but placed it eventually, I do think however I should play around with the placement more.

Final image for 'Detached'. I made the background for this very quickly and with less thought than the others therefore I wanted to make sure I got the type on this right to make the image still come out okay. I really liked one of my thumbnails and created type from that, similar to stability I linked them all together except for one letter that I left on its own on the right hand side of the image. When I had finished It looked like this.

I felt the image was very weak though so decided to adapt the background to make it stronger. I found and image of a cinder block wall to add to it, I felt this gave a much better effect.
