final quotes and excerpts

I liked this project. I felt I got to show my creativity in it. The traditional version of both the quote and the excerpt were not as much fun or exciting for me to do. I really liked doing the modern version of both of them though. It was somewhat of a challenge but I felt I took my time and did a good job, I was happy with my results.

Traditional Quote:

I chose to do the traditional quote with more of a traditional theme to it. I felt it was somewhat of a Victorian style border and also the font I felt had the same feel to it. I felt the Victorian style was traditional because it reminds me of the medieval times or maybe the renaissance time period.

Modern quote:

For the modern quote I wanted it to have more of a unique feel to it. So in looking for ideas I searched for pictures and came across this one. I felt it fit my quote quite well and that I could incorporate the two of them together quite well. I wanted a simple font so the focus would be more on the meaning of the picture and its words. I put the words the way that I did so that it would have the feeling of entering the man’s mind.

Modern excerpt:

 The excerpt I choose was from a story about a tree, so I thought it was relevant to use a tree with the words and have them work together. The font I choose I felt went along with the style of the tree I choose. I tried to make the words flow along with the words. I felt the style of it all was unique and therefore modern and different than traditional style.

Traditional excerpt:

I choose to the border that looked somewhat like a plant, the border I found had vines in it and I felt would go along with the excerpt because it was about a tree. The font I choose I felt was traditional and looked English to me and I thought went well with the theme of the border.
