typography quotation posters

  1. 1st poster:
    i think that this poster is my favorite. i like how you shaped the words into a heart, then put the word 'heart' in the middle. i think that the only thing that i would change is the color of a few of the words. the 'or miles apart' section is all white and i think it would have looked better with different colors, like the rest of the quote.
    2nd poster:
    i love how you put the smaller words associated with the big words in the corner of each of the big words. the different colors for the big words are cool, and the white color for the small letters bring all of the quote together. the only thing i would change is in the 'love like you've never been hurt before'. i would have somehow made the 'before' line up with the rest of the small letters.
    3rd poster:
    my favorite part of the poster are the sections behind the words. it makes the words stand out more. i would have picked a different color, but i don't like pink, so that's beside the point.

  2. the first one is really just all around cute, the quote is sweet and the way you made it into a heart gave a really cool effect. And the colors are cute
    The second one is my favorite i love the way you made the main words stand out and how you made the text wrap around the word was really fun.
    I think the third one is strong and simple but still stylish. The whiting out pattern brush thing gives it cool texture.

  3. The first one like how you made a heart shape.

    The last one i like how you made the white come out around the words.

  4. I like how you got the words to make a heart-shape in the first poster, it's really cute; on the second one, you put the important words in color, so people really see them; and on the third poster you used a brush (I think?) to make the white around the words, which remind me of a favorite pair of jeans that have worn out spots on them because of how many journeys they've been on.
    The only thing I might change, if I were you, is on the first poster, I was a little bit confused about where the quote started, but that might have just been me :)

  5. 1st: I like how the heart is a little off center to the right, makes it look good. I had trouble reading "friends" in the beginning, capitalizing it might help. Another little grammatical thing is that there is a comma at the end instead of a period.

    2nd: I like this one because of the good bold font and the words going in different directions. You might want to experiment with more ways of putting the words so they are easier to read.

    3rd: I like the spray painted white look. I would capitalize "not" and "destination" to fit with "success". The bottom line looks like there is to much weight on the right maybe put in more white on the right and change spacing.

  6. love the heart on the first one, especially how you put the word "heart" in the middle.
    Would possibly recommend a bit less variation in color.

    The color, sizing, and format of your second poster is very well thought out. By emphasizing "live, laugh, love" in such a way, I can follow the quote all the way through smoothly and with enjoyment.
    Under "live" the quote seems to be a bit close, and "tomorrow" too far from "live"; remember to watch your spacing.

    The spray effect does a good job simply contrasting against the back while also adding to your quote. I like how "success" is big and in caps. I would recommend capitalizing other portions of the quote (key words, perhaps?), move the third line up slightly, and also make it smaller so that you have a margin.

  7. First one, "Side by side..." I really, really, really, like the idea of that quote. I also liked how you had the text aranged in a heart shape. Maybe you could have done something to make it easier to read, but other than that I thought that it was great.

    Second one, "Live like there's no tomorrow..." I like the quote, but it's yet another one I'm not entirely certain I agree with. I liked your use of colors and the general layout of the text. It took me a momment to read but, well everything has a price.

    Third one, "Success..." I agree with that mostly for some people. It is not true for everyone, at least that's how I think of it. Even so I still like it. I really like how its relatively simple pink background, with white area around the words, it darws the eye to the poster and then to the words, which are also not extremely fancy, but still nice looking. All in all I think it looks very nice. If I were to change something to change I think I would have put more emphasis on the word "not" and on the word "is".

  8. 1. i like this one the best. it's simple and colorful. the thing that kind of bugged me was that when i looked at it i didn't know where the beginning was. it did make you look closer but it was just kind of distracting. otherwise it was good.

    2. i like the way you arranged the words. you just made this harder because i don't think i can find anything wrong with it......

    3. i don't really like the pink that much because it's too bright ...... maybe a softer pink?
