Distorted


White on Black

This image works because there are the two colors, white and black but the image has a good mix up of these two colors. The polka dots in the background work really well with the image because they make the image pop and better as far as being able to see. The cursive script I used in the writing works well because it creates a calm feeling in contrast to all the confusion in the backdrop.

Camouflage

This image works for "camouflage" because usually when someone says camouflage, you think of blending in or woodsy colors. So, the camouflage I used in the background is made up of forest colors and the words are the same opacity as the background so they blend in and are hard to find and pick out.

Stable

This image is "stable" because it has the jumbled letters that are looking like they are going to fall or topple over, but they are being held up and STABLE by the bold, black word stable on the bottom.

Quiet

This image represents the word "quiet" well because it has the calming colors in the background with the teal and light yellow. It also has the fading out gradient in the back drop which is a quiet effect because it is slowly fading out rather than rapidly which would create energy that is loud. The gradient is also applied in the text and slowly fades out, using opacity. This creates a quiet affect as well. Finally, the words go from large to small as they progress across and down the page.

Loud

This image looks loud because the background of the gradient looks explosive which is shown by the colors of fire. Secondly, there are really small words in the background that are being overpowered by the "loudness" of the word "LOUD" in bold black over the entire image. Finally, the small words in the background are repetitive and contrast with the bold top layer.
