For my practice sheet, I experimented with different fonts in one color. After a while, I played around with the vertical arrangement and used different colors. Over the course of the week, I learned how to warp the text in Illustrator, which I did for the bottom four texts.
For my final, I decided to layer the pink/red text from my practice sheet onto a pink background. Using the envelope distort function on Illustrator, I continued to further warp the text until it filled up the entire page.
The phrase I chose, “Can you put a price on a dream?” comes from this article.
The article discusses the circumstances surrounding the writer’s hard decision to turn down her dream school, Northwestern, out of financial security. The quote follows a comment made by her high school guidance counselor, who questions the author and her family’s choice to withdraw her acceptance from Northwestern.
