MONTAGE TEXT
The text content was from an Internet classified ads agency. I found only one ad that could somewhat relate to my digital montage. The text honestly changes the entire meaning of my montage from being “rebirth” to “escape”. The as states: “Escape to the Caribbean for warm vacations. Nestled in the mountains five minute walk to river trails and mountain trails.” I emphasized the scale of the words escape, warm, and river to the largest fonts around the thirties and forties. The rest stayed at a font size between six and nine. My middle ground sized words were vacation and Caribbean. They stayed at a font of twenty-one or so. I filled up the space dynamically with the words in sentence structure. Each sentence was placed in different ways. The text was placed angularly and intersected across the picture plane in many ways like a crossword puzzle. I tried to keep the composition away from the horizontal and vertical intersections. The word escape is the largest word and is intensified by the moon. The rest of the larger text’s are on the left side under the moon similar to a cross word as well. I made the words come out and say, “Escape to Warm River”, because it’s simple and creates a new meaning. The rest of the words in the ad were used for texture and for dynamic eye moving qualities.
