When asked to pick an excerpt I at first thought of picking a poem, a famous love poem or really just any famous poem that I knew...I first started searching and they all seemed a bit boring or too deep for the mood I was in. I wanted to pick something that had meaning to me.
I thought a bit longer and in my search for poems in google I saw the name Shel Silverstein. That immediately rang a bell for me, but I couldn't exactly put a picture to what he did. So I did some more research and saw that he was the author or the poem called " the giving tree". When I was little I loved that poem and would read it all the time.
In finding two writings that sparked interest for me I was excited to get started on this assignment.
I started sketching out ideas, the farther along I was the easier it was for me to think of new ways of displaying the writings.
Out of my rough drafts I decided to go with either the face with the message or the brain for the modern display of the quote. For the traditional view of the quote I decided to do a sort of old english style.
For the excerpt modern style I decided to pick the tree and for the traditional I picked a style which started off with a big A and reminded me of a old story book of fairytales kind of style.
