Module 4 - Interested in feedback

I thought module 4 was really interesting and especially likes the display text section. This section really opened my eyes to the uses of text to evoke emotion. I found that this was a great exercise to do to learn how different words, when mixed with font, shading and spacing, impact the viewer.

I'm not great with Photoshop but do have some experience in it and just wanted to share what I put together. Feel free to provide any feedback!

    It certainly helped, in this assignment, to pick a song title with a few words. The trouble I had with that then became figuring out multiple ways to convey an emotion so that it looked interesting. In other words, I did something very similar to your second example for my "shy, whispering" effect. For that particular emotion it's OK to use one effect and keep it less complicated. But when it came to playful, or loud, or whatever else, I didn't want the visual to be as monotone. So...do you come up with multiple variations of the same emotion and ration them out per word? Or do you try and come up with an overall look and work on the words based on how you want to outcome to look? This assignment took me longer than I thought it would. I enjoying getting lost in Photoshop too...

    Ashley - I love what you did with the assignment. Nice work. Very creative to jumble the words. I'll try that next time.

    Thanks Matt and Larry!

    Larry - The Script sings it, love this song!

    Heather - I struggled with the same questions. Each time I duplicated the layer I tried to being it all the way back to basics and built it up again to show the emotion that I was working on at that time. It was definitely a fun and thought provoking assignment.
