Font Poem

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, and flight to the imagination.
-Plato

I chose this quote because I feel that it really shows how music makes me feel and shows the way my favorite philosopher feels about music and its beauties. Music has always been able to inspire me to love new things and appreciate everything for what its worth. You can get away from places with music and you can go distances with as well. Without music in my days i would not be able to function.

So for this assignment I had to first start off by putting each word from the quote on its own layer, with each being on its own layer I was able to transform each without effecting the other words. The effect in the layout of my poem that I wanted to express was the highlight of each important word. Making each important word very different, bigger and the use of a font that represented the word to my understanding. The fonts that I used for this assignment were Visigoth, Univers Lt Std, University Std, Strumpf Std, Myriad Pro, Serpentine, Arcana GMM Std, Andreas Std and Ouch! Std. Picking the fonts for my poem was probably the hardest part considering I had trouble making up my mind for most of them. After finally picking the fonts, I began playing with the placment of all the words, I decided to make everything pretty much to one side with the last frase standing on its own in the negative space of my document. The word that stood out the most for me in the poem was "imagination" therefore I made it look like it was the most important word in the poem.
