Entry Project: 24


24 quotes in typography that inspires and motivates me .

The Making
 Started off by scribbling down ideas of what I thought I wanted to do for my 24 Project. Starting it off was a bit confusing as I had a lot of ideas rolling in but had to eliminate them since I did not have the right equipment to be doing them.
As I developed further on I stumbled across quotes and found that It was rather a good idea to do something related to 24 quotes that motives me and  reflects my character. I then thought of doing typography, I have never done before but thought it would be rather fun to try something new, so as I researched some typography samples I got the hang of it on how to present them and decided to do typography to present 24 of my quotes.
 Researching quotes that really reflect who I am and what motives me took awhile because each and individual one had to move me than just picking 24 random ones that I find good. This took 2 days  to do since I wanted the full 24 to be 100% who I am. I copy pasted them on to word to save them and also have the original person who quoted them so you would know that I did not make them as I got them off the internet.
 Going on to dafont.com I downloaded some eye catching fonts that are not common as what you find on Microsoft word in order to move away from typical fonts.
 Here you can see some samples of the fonts I have been using in my pieces. Trying to range a whole different types of fonts to capture essence of specific words.
Saving all my photoshop works also as jpeg in case I needed to go back and change some errors.
Downloaded some images that represent some words to use as an outline for my quotes to be portrayed. 

24 of my Photoshop works of the quotes that took me about 5 hard days of working to be completed and run over. Showing them to other people in order to get feedbacks on what they thought of my work, mostly positive feedbacks which made me more confident in my attempt in typography.
Complete Pieces
 Bellow you will find the complete making of what I have been trying to produce. Here are 24 quotes that motives me to do what I do and emphasize my character, I hope you enjoy them and really get a good sense of who I am with the use of quotes.
