Emotion Words

The way that a line is drawn effects the mood of the design. For this project we needed to take four words and convey the emotion of the word through imagery. A line drawn with jagged edges conveys a sense of anger because people associate sharp points with anger. The font and line of design determines the mood because the emotions we feel can be expressed in many ways. For example the lines in lost form  a maze with several beginning and endings. When one is in a maze they are lost and therefore the word lost making a maze adds to the confusion and feeling. A fancy font such as the one used for vain conveys a more sophisticated and higher class feeling than the font used in the background of jealous. This knowledge can be used for future designs such as the quote design because you can get a message across visually with image and not only words. When words are paired with imagery the convey their meaning more strongly. Often we don't take into consideration the connotation of each word we encounter but when the emotion of that word is visually displayed we are forced to accept its true meaning.
