A4 poster design of quote. Typeface used and related decisions for the following key words listed below:
- Main typeface used was Bodoni MT for ease of reading and contemporary style. I don't think Bob Marley was a "serifs" guy, do you?
- truth - white colour used as it symbolises truth in western culture. Extra spaces between letters to emphasise the unambiguous nature of truth. I used italics as it made the word seem softer. Also liked the rounded thick stems of the Bodoni MT Italics letters.
- Everyone - Book Antiqua bold used as I wanted something plain, square and strong for this word. I underlined for extra emphasis that this quote referred to "everyone".- Hurt - Impact Regular used along with kerning effect, various layer effects and icy white colour to associate the word with pain, steeliness and icy cold. The outer glow actually hurts my eyes.
You and Ones - Arial Black with inner stroke. Also made vertical height on some of the letters higher than others in the words to add emphasis.
Suffering - Chiller Regular - what a great font! It looks evil and chilling. I made some baseline shifts and applied some warp transformations to increase interest and draw attention to the punchline in this quote.
Bob Marley - Bodoni MT bold with inner stroke and colour overlay. I just don't have the skill yet to add a dreadlock effect to this text (and background) but I would have loved to do so. Or my thought was to have a silhouette of him with this quote hovering in the background/foreground.
