We were to pick a quote or selection of text that had some sort of meaning to it, find a typeface that caught our eye and captured our meaning, and then arrange the text in three ways: one simply for legibility, one for expressiveness, and one for visual effect (including images). The quote I chose is by one of my biggest inspirations, author of the <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em> series, J.R.R. Tolkien. Here&#8217;s part A!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-894\" alt=\"Tolkien2\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien2.png\" width=\"1137\" height=\"761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien2.png 1137w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien2-1024x685.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1137px) 100vw, 1137px\" \/><\/a>I messed around with a couple different takes on the expressive step of part B. Here&#8217;s my favorite:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-893\" alt=\"Tolkien\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien.png\" width=\"1362\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien.png 1362w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/Tolkien-1024x527.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And for the third step, involving imagery, I did quite a bit of experimenting and ended up with this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/COMPASStype.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-918\" alt=\"COMPASStype\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/COMPASStype-1024x791.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/COMPASStype-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/admission\/files\/2013\/04\/COMPASStype-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, I&#8217;ve decided to take the third piece into the real word! I&#8217;ll be creating a 3d compass with the text for the quote inside. I&#8217;ll be sure to upload a picture when I&#8217;m done, it&#8217;s a lot of work but it should come out pretty cool!
