Color and Font

It is a good day when your draft comes close to resembling your final product. That is not to say I did not have to make some revisions. I made some choices, such as adding Japanese wave designs in a bar across the top, which ultimately detracted from the piece. But in the end, the final product looked fairly similar to this.

As stated above, The result was not intended to be a graphic design piece. It could, however, show up in a design piece. I decided to add it to a poster that would advertise an event displaying my works.

For the font, I chose Arial Narrow Bold Italic. This is a clean, easy-to-read font. The italic gave a sense of motion that resembled a wave.

For the color choices, I went with the obvious idea: the sea. But instead of a pristine, sunny day, I wanted to create an idea of depth and almost loneliness. For this reason, I gave the background darker tones and put the image in a halo gradient..
