Final Designs

The ground on all of the eight pieces has been made less obvious and slightly pixelated so doesnt take from the photos. The main part of the grounds is also in the bottom right which is where they are stood so they all look as though they are stood on a base.

Type droops with the way it is arranged. I have also used a full stop after the first line to add emphasis.


Gap between two lines smaller so they link together better. The expression on her face means she is in pain but she has her thumbs up as a confusion which shows a split personality. The lines on the ground is more crazy which matches the quote.


Type in corner works well as a step. Ground looks as though it has visual noise in it which matches the quote. 


White in top corner looks as though that's where the light is coming from and it also matches where the light in the photo is too. The type has also been arranged to look as though it is a silhouette stood in the corner ready to fight.


Removed capital 'E' on 'each' and aligned to the 't' on 'twelve'. The light coming from above works well because it is looking down. 


Moved the 'cos' into the column below because it isn't needed in the first line. 


'Onto' means she is on her own little world. I have made 'they know me there' bigger so it links together better and remove the 'T' on 'They' 


Type works better in different sizes because second line acts as a comic punch line so it is better smaller because the focus is on the first line and split personality.

Few more edits needed?


I think this image doesn't need any final changes. The text is arranged so it 'droops' with the image which links them together.



I think that the only changes needed on this photo would be that the 'Gone crazy!' and 'Back soon!' need to be made closer together so that they read better.



I  think that the text layout on this image works well because it is blocked into the corner and there are certain words emphasised so that it is read with them as shouting.



The text in this image works because it could be acting as a person to be having a fight with because it is in a column.



On this image I think that the only changes needed are that the 'E' on 'Each' needs to be made lower case and then lined up with the 't' on 'twelve'.



I think this image would look better if the 'cos' was moved down into the column below and made slightly smaller.



I think there are still too many words in this image so I am going to remove the 'but its OK' and but the second line to read with 'but' at the beginning, I am also going to remove the capital from the 'They' on the second line so it reads as one.



I think the text layout on this image works well so I am going to keep it as it is.

Grounds Black and White

For all of these images I have made the ground black and white which I think looks too dull. I think these images look as though they have had something spilt on the background because it is washed and not in colour. The grounds would look better if they were darker because they look dirty how they are. If they had a slight hint of blue to them then they might work better.


Photos Black and White

I think that having the photos in black and white makes the images look too dull and dark. I think that the use of light works better with the images in black and white but they would still look better if colour was used slightly in the images. 





3rd Final Ideas

Now i have decided to use blue grounds for all of my pieces I think they work well because they are all similar and linked.  

I have also used the type that I have decided on and rearranged the type in a way in which I think works best. The type still needs some edits but I think they are all close to being finished now.


The second line of type acts as a punch line.


Type looks as though someone is in the foreground waiting to fight and acts as a silhouette.


The gap between the type acts as a pause between the sentences.


Type has been boxed into the corner as if it is said with force?


Last bit is smaller as if whispered as a secret that they know her.


Type arranged as though it is drooping.


Type gets bigger towards the bottom of column. 


Second line of type too small?

Second Final Ideas

For all of these designs I have used the original photos which I think look better because they are less edited.  For each image I have used a quote which matches the image and links to split personality.


This image has too much type on top which I think could be made shorter by removing some words but it would still say the same.


The photo in this image needs to be made brighter so he can be seen with fists better. This will make the image clearer.


I think this design looks better with less type because it makes the image the main part of the design.


Type is just about right because it is in a step in the corner but I could try using a different type and size.


Too much Type? Could change size of type to look better or shorten quote? 


I think they type needs moving around because it looks too blocked into the corner and could also look better with a ground on it so there would be a base for the image.


I think that there is too much type in this piece or it need to be arranges better.


The type on this piece needs to be made shorter because it over powers the image.

All of these eight images would look better if they had a ground to them which would give them more of a base and look as though they are stood on something. 

All of these eight images look better and more natural using the original photos which means that they link together with the quote to be part of my split personality theme because the actions all look natural.
