This is a poster design for my Typography class. The project was based around this contest: [link] . The idea behind this poster was supposed to be a city formed entirely of pipes. This idea proved to be a bit convoluted, so I tried to simplify it a bit by choosing a typeface that resebled pipes (IronPipe) and instead I did a kind of word association game with water. I had fun, it was chanlenging not to reuse words. xD

Unfortunately my computer was broken at the time and I did this on my laptop. I am very disappointed with how the colours turned out. It looked so nice on the screen. laptop screens are just terrible. :\

Tools:
Illustrator CS4
Intuos 4
Approx 6 hours.

Setting each word individually for size and kerning was a choooooore. :x

Hey, this is pretty clever! I like the way it turned out! You're good at more abstract designs like this! :trophy:

....a city made of pipes? Uh, that'd be a nightmare for me to do.. D:

I really like this and the idea :) I can't believe it took you that long! I tried a similar thing in photoshop making a water bottle out of words and it didn't take nearly as long, maybe an hour max.

Keep in mind that I individually set the colours too to simulate lights in the buildings and to give depth. This wasn't just a "slap a bunch of words together" kind of thing lol. But thanks :)
