So, 2 of the 3 images were changed. I still luff all the quotes to death, these three just worked out best.
I think I've already pretty much contextualized the pieces, talking about my obsession with insanity. I kept with my intention of using greyscale, but in each piece I decided to allow a little bit of grey, mostly for design's sake.
I chose to spread these three relatively small quotes out onto separate pieces because isolation is a key part of madness. 'Crazy' people, those labeled deranged, insane, or unfit for society, are marked by a profound isolation, either in their mind or in their treatment.
If your screen is properly adjusted and you've got good eyes, you'll see that I combined two quotes into the middle piece: the main quote is "We are sane only as long as we hear voices when there are none" and in the background is, repeated quite a bit, "We are insane when we hear nothing and worse we are deaf." It seemed apropos.
Also in the middle quote: I deliberately and individually kerned each line so that very few of the letters would line up vertically. At first glance, the right side of the image is a bit hopelessly jumbled and confused.

I really liked how you made your vectors in black & white it makes them all the better to keep the quotes standing strong.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Also, the intent for this was for the three pieces to be able to be presented together - the b/w theme helped unite them a bit.
