Typography 29 - Missing.by ~princepoo

Different person.

[edit: though i do want to keep the background words as faded as possible, i did alter the levels to bring them out. my intention was to portray a mess of thoughts, with two being clearly crystalized, distinct and brutal in their direct observation. fin.]

this makes me think of a room full of whisperers, with some of them close enough to be heard properly and others far enough away that their words are vague but the meaning comes through.

i, for one, enjoy the use of negative space; after all, studies show that white on black draws the eye far more than black on white. also, the feeling the piece gives calls for a darker overall appearance, i think. something a little less desolate might be able to use black on white, fading kind of like figures standing at various points in a bank of fog. i'm not sure; sometimes there are little differences that are hard to pinpoint...like, i could tell you that it's going to be a different feeling, but i'm not sure what that feeling would be, exactly.

also, i don't think that legibility is the point here, but more the meaning behind the words. (like the echoes of a whisper you think you almost heard...)

once again, the simplicity gives a clean, finished feeling.

So much the opposite of your previous typographic piece, the use of words and font size make this one more powerful but also more depressing. I like the way you added emotion to the piece by enhancing some words. The use of a glowing white font that centers the piece is brilliant, simple en elegant.

the effect of this is great. the spacing of the words, some close, some not, gives the clear distinction of though. the closers ones convey disparity, or this rush and jumble of thought. the less spaced out ones and the clear white thoughs are moments of clarity and revelation. and that last phrase, it all represence this loss, with the small font. like you're lost in your revelation.

i also like the effect that the onlook of your piece would be lost as well. given bits and pieces of your though and interpreting it with the vibes they get off the piece.

i truely like this one a lot.

i think i'm the out one out, because i think this is done perfectly. no need for clutter. i also wanted to mention that this piece truly touched my heart. i had someone extremely close to me die suddenly, and i often feel this way. i don't know if that is close to the reason that you did this piece, but it really hit a chord with me.
THanks for your beautiful work! :hug:

I like this piece but I too agree with gabe on the idea of having more synonyms floating toward the back and I thought you should have added some 'blurry' layers.

I don't really have a problem with the spacing however.

I think it is well done. Simplicity is your complexity of that makes any sense.

i think by getting rid of the space between the background-words you can better show that " mess of thoughts" idea. and maybe blur those background words a little to show some speed, since they're all racing through your head.
anyway
with the use of contrast you made the words " you're gone" so strong and it just became such a definite statement, a good kick to the heart. great.
