Subway Art
I choose the song The Middle by Jimmy Eat World because it makes me feel good. I was having a bad day, and then this song turned on and it made me smile. The song just reminds me to never let anyone or anything keep me down. Working with typography is always something I love. And adding the fact that there are four types of different fonts (serif, sans-serif, script, and display) that I had to learn and manipulate into this art. Setting text in a way that shows a story, and make the ext as art is such a lovely way to show that songs and quotes are meaningful to others. Like how people hear the song themselves, they can make the font bigger where they find the most important lines, or where the song/quote 'screams' or 'whispers'. Making the text all fit into a square was actually a challenge for me, because naturally I wanted the words to keep on going down, into a rectangular shape.
