The story behind is basically using the hand held grenade to express the explosiveness or the about to explode feeling by conveying double meaning worlds . Some of the words like push can be read as pushing my self to strive or push as to pressure me to do something negative. I used typeface Myriad because of its sans serif structure. This one is different from my second rough because its solely using one image as to a complexity of objects and places.

Love the grenade!
ReplyDeleteGrenade all the way.
Well, we meet again. I’m still partial to the grenade. I love the detail. Consider using individual letters (the same way that you did with the asterisks in the handle) to add some shading to the body of the grenade. More dimension and more detail will only make it that much more interesting. Beautiful job. Choice of type face is suiting.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the story about commuting goes, again, it took me too long to understand what was going on. I saw the tree and I understood. Then saw the road, but when I looked at the road the first word I saw was ‘tree’. Since I saw ‘tree’ in a shape that was below the only obvious figure in the composition the tree my initial reaction was, ‘oh, roots!’ , but I couldn’t understand why roots wert connected to the tree. You see what I mean when I say…’it took me too long to understand’.
On the car you could add more detail by using chucks of smaller letterforms as on your grenade. Possibly adding more of a curve to the road, matching the curve of the horizon would help your road read as …well…a road. I do like your over all composition, though.
