Typography

For this assignment, we were to use typography, concepts, and themes to create "type based images that reflect the meaning of the words they portray. I decided to create a guitar using musical terms with bright, neon font colors on a black canvas.

Answer to Kraus Questions:
Clarity: Each word that is placed to make the shape of a guitar is apart of a music theme. I have the words, note, chorus, passion, rhythm, harmony, sing, tune, sound, lesson, jam, band, live, lyrics, melody, beat, acoustic, play, chord, song, rock, tone, electric, music, strings, guitar and riff. These words all work together toward the same overall message of a music theme. No one would misinterpret any of the pieces to mean something else and there isn't another message this design could portray.
Audience: My target audience are the people involved in my LTLE 372 class. Since the font colors I have chosen for this design are bright on a dark background, this tone would be happy and musical because of the words and picture I have chosen to convey. I hope this is a unique design that not too many people have seen before, yet I feel as though a typography design of a guitar has been done before. To me, my design looks like something that would be seen on an advertisement for a concert or a music store. When my target audience looks at this person, I hope they think of rock.
Purpose: This piece is not meant to sell a product, or to persuade, but to inform my audience of the musically upbeat in society. Music is a big part of our society and so it is just to be looked at as a positive design and one that informs my audience of things that deal with music.
