Typography Project

This project was based of a line from an antagonist named Handsome Jack from a game called Borderlands to emphasize how he saw himself and others. I made the typography correlate to various words in the quote.

I wanted to make his final word to be the boldest and biggest due to it correlates to himself. Jack found himself to be a Hero regardless of his actions along with being a king so i made the word Hero biggest and grandest. He found those beneath him to be Bandits and bad so I used a gradient to black coloring of bold letters for these words. I transferred from red to gold due to their personality changes along the game from being true bandits to becoming good guys. I made the "I" blue and glitchy due to his abilities with computers and technology.

I wanted to give a story to the words and the typography i gave to them. I wanted the words Bandits and Bad guys to be linked, So I gave them a black gradient linking to the other to transition from bandits to "Bad guys" as is which Jack calls the true heroes. I made the Word "Hero" to emphasized what the Antagonist saw himself as. So overall I'm creating this piece as if it were from Jacks perspective seeing himself as a Godly hero, because of what he wants his overall goal is, regardless of how many lives he takes.

  If I could change anything, I would change the colors a little by making them more colorful and vibrant for the letter "I" and adding more variations of blue and maybe some slight purple along with a more static look. I'd also want to emphasize hero as well and give it a more heroic look by making it bolder and have some vibrancy and make it stand out more.
