As the name suggests, this assignment was about taking type and though varying type sizes, styles, and overlapping words, and making one image. I chose a pair of sunglasses and went to work, I varied the color of the type as well as added some bold type and overlapped some of the words. In the original, I had masked some of the type for the actual lenses in the sunglasses, but when I revised it to upload onto this blog I started from scratch and finessed the type to fit into the shape of the lens. Type on a path makes up almost all of this image, and the smaller I view it the more I like it and the more I can see the varying degrees in depth and value. I think in its full size, the sunglasses are clearly defined and the values vary enough that you can see the depth without the image being too cluttered or “messy” with words.
