Quote Design

For this quote design, I used a few different principles and elements of design. The first element I used was shape, by making a clipping mask of the picture and a text box, as well as making a clipping mask using the picture and an outlined phrase. I outlined the phrase in order to make it a shape, and then I stretched the words in the outlined phrase to fit it to the page. I also used space in this design, by letting the negative space between the words in the outlined phrase, as well as the actual phrase to create a full picture of Aslan. The elements of design i used were balance and variety. The assignment of this project was to make a unique and creative quote design that involved text as well as pictures.  I made it my own by using the text itself to make the picture, and putting different layers on it so that it looks almost three dimensional. In designing this poster, I mainly did trial and error. I had an idea in my head, so I tried a few different versions of it using a couple different techniques. I knew that I wanted to do some kind of quote by C.S. Lewis, so when I found the picture of Aslan, I decided that I would do a quote from his book "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe". Then I picked a quote and just went from there. Overall, I'm happy with the way it turned out.
