Typography: Enhanced lyrics piece 2 of 3

This is piece 2 of 3 for the enhanced typography assignment. This time around, I just manipulated the text by using different font, font sizes etc.

Typography: Enhanced lyrics piece 1 of 3

This is 1 of 3 of the enhanced typography compositions. The job as to take a section of lyrics from a song, a poem or a quotation and enhance it typographically. The lyrics I ended up choosing were the "Enter Sandman" lyrics by Metallica. The lyrics are very descriptive and kind of freaky, so manipulating them won't be that difficult. It's also the song that got into liking Metallica's music. For this piece, I only maniplated certain words to help emphasis the type and what it is depicting. For example: the word "war" has blood spatter on it to show that war is gory, violent and bloody.

LIGHT IT ON FIRE!!!!

This time I used the "screen layer", "difference clouds", "lighting effects", "Hue/Saturation", "radial blur", "plastic wrap" and "outer glow" to set a Gibson flying V guitar on fire.

So here's the final character design. I don't normally design female characters on account of the fact that I'm just not that good at them :P. But not bad for my first try, I suppose. Enjoy!
