Futurism

This weeks assignment was to create a composition using, in my case, Futurism to represent a quote from a designer you admire (one also included in the Megg's Text).

I chose Andy Warhol because I have always enjoyed his works. There are many documented quotes from Warhol but I thought this one was really interesting. Although not directly related to design, it spoke to me.

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art".

I tried a variety of layouts and finally came to this. I tried to use only a few straight lines of text, including "land" because it is a sturdy word and I thought it would weaken it to tilt it. I varied the size of the letters of "ruining" so as to ruin the word itself. I also overlapped ruining on land to emphasize the function of it. I used a different font for beautiful because of society's perception of the word. Andy Warhol is in a circle to almost represent a flower or beautiful part of the un-ruined land. I also used the changing of colours over a shape or line I've seen used in the futurism style.

I think that about sums up my design for this week :)
