Description A mini project set at uni. Basically i have to express a movie quote using words and letterforms as the main element of the poster. "Expressing the sentance through the imaginative use of type, composition in the defined space, choice of typefaces, contrast, dynamism and colour. Imagery or something else may also play a secondary role, a background element, if it helps express the message, but the main starring role should be played by the typography"

The quote i have used is taken from the film Hitch starring Will Smith:

"Life is not the amount of breaths you take, its the moments that take your breath away"

Very nice choice of quotation and well illustrated, too! :clap. Only one point of criticism, I think the transition from clock to wall could be smoother, right now the script on the wall is not a very good continuation of the movement or the tilt of the clock writing, if you understand what I mean

But in any case a great work.

Evility [2007-01-02 15:33:14 +0000 UTC]

Lovely idea
I like the composition
It's good that you made it BW,
it's more simple and
it's in harmony with the simple
concept you wanted to express

FallStand [2006-12-10 17:39:05 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I like this a lot.. I think the picture with the clock portays the quote perfectly. How did you do the lettering? And again, very nice lighting

Jess2712 In reply to FallStand [2006-12-10 17:45:45 +0000 UTC]

The lettering on the clock i drew directly onto. I then added the text running down the wall using PS, lowering the opacity to make the words fade away.

very beautiful. what did your lecturers say about it?

Jess2712 In reply to suqbus [2006-11-22 12:29:14 +0000 UTC]

Well they suggested some ways to make it look better. Make the text the same size throughout and make the text look as though its falling of the wall or something.

khuzul [2006-10-19 13:54:45 +0000 UTC]

its nice, altho i think something more time-related could be found as a sentence for the design, but it's still nicely related, thus good .)
