Calligrame




































For this project, I wrote the lyrics to OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" in the shape of overlapping stars. I was inspired by to use multiple colors to highlight the colors of hot stars. I created my own background by cutting off the points of the stars at the edges. I am very proud of my work and am excited to continue using Illustrator.

The most interesting part of this project was learning the relationships that colors have with each other through the adobe color wheel. I was always aware of primary and complimentary colors, but I never heard of "triad" or "analogous" colors until now. Using photoshop was a new experience to me, but it seemed somewhat familiar because the interface is similar to Adobe Illustrator. Using the selection tool was simple and it seemed to do a good job detecting the different shapes in my shirt.

I tried to use a lot of gradient colors to create a slightly 3d feel.  The text behind me is a quote from Doctor Seuss: "Be who you are and say what you feel because in the end those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." This is an inspirational quote for me because it inspires me to share my opinions regardless of what others think. I enjoy using text as art and had a lot of fun with this project.
