For this vector project I chose to show how the words horror and fear interact with one another. Most people think of horror and fear as almost the same thing, one just describes a situation and another an emotion. However, I wanted to show how in truth horror inspires fear so I made the word horror large and menacing and almost attacking the word fear which is small and cowering in the corner over a black background to hint at the horrors that lie in darkness.
To create the image first I chose a font for horror that seem menacing, and then converted it to an object so I could stretch out its anchor points to give it spindly needles and distort it. I enlarged the size of it and placed it in the corner. In order to create the shape I wanted to the word fear I changed the color to a deep red and ungrouped the letters so I could stagger and rotate them to give a cowering form. Then I just placed the word at the bottom corner and added a black background.
I really like your concept and how you went about showing it, the text reflects is really well. Something I would change would maybe be add more details to the text.
ReplyDeletelove it the words displays the idea behind them very well, the only thing that was a little off about it was when I first looked at it I didn't see the word fear, horror over powers it almost to much.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool concept. I like the fonts you chose for it as well. They enhance what you were trying to say. The only thing I might change is the color in the word horror. I would like to see it as a vibrant red. Something equally as bright but in a red to help show that horror and fear are similar but not the same.
ReplyDeleteI find the horror text interesting and how you did it. I like how the lines thin out. It's very Tim Burton-esque. I like your concept of the horror text being menacing but I feel you could have conveyed that idea more, perhaps, by having those lines, from the horror text, form a mouth.
ReplyDeleteI love the fonts you used and the way you portrayed your ideas through composition and font size. I would have liked to see maybe more of the idea of horror creating fear or even maybe more things that horror creates.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you design the words and make them longer, also it combine with the black background perfectly.
