I wanted to try a typographic rendering of a short, cool speech and I thought this was a good bet. "Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy -blam!- we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." It's from the film "Fight Club" with Ed Norton and Brad Pitt. 1998 I believe. In a spoiler since it's MASSIVE. Spoiler
Spoiler Did that work? Either way, it's nice. Cool use of vertical text, sizes, etc. Though the bar of soap up top is poor quality and just detracts from it. Otherwise, I'm very partial towards this because of movie. 'Tis one of my favourites.
Oh yeah it did, thanks. I'll edit that into the original post. Do you think I should leave that portion empty or try to find something else that could fit? And yeah, it's a great movie
Certain parts are hard to follow and figure out what to read next, especially the "On Television" line. I'm not even sure where that fits in. Other than that and the soap, nice job.
If you get or make a vectorized version of it, you could probably tweak it into it. Other than that, only thing I can think of is maybe having an image of Ed Norton.
work on your composition, mate. if youre doing a purely typographical piece, make sure it flows nicely, yours is a little jarred in places, boil it all down to shapes, neg/pos space and try again. good try, though. keep at it also, one of the greatest books ive read, neat quip.
