This is my lyric typography. It was done with the lines from the song "Sailboats" by Sky sailing. For these lyrics, I had a lot of trouble. I decided to add shape with the sailboat and stars. The lyrics state that the sailboats wish that they were stars; therefore, I felt that having these two shapes would add a little character. For color I decided to use navy blue, extremely light gray, and white.. The mood of this is soothing and soft. The color blue is associated with tranquility and stability. Also, the light grays and white were to express purity and innocence. The songs lyrics and music sound extremely innocent and soft. I also felt a night or sleeping emotion came with it. And because, horizontal lines are related to sleeping and relaxing therefore I added a terrrible horizon line. For the lyrics, I decided to have it in a vertical line but the sizes of the words differ. I put emphasis on the words "wish", "stars", and "goodbye" by making them the largest. Those words seemed to have the most meaning. With fonts I used two different types, poor richard which is a bit more traditional and straight and lucida handwriting italics which was much more curved and cursive. The words in lucida handwriting were softly, sky, dreams, and goodbye. They gave off a soft vibe therefore I felt they needed a softer font with the curved lines.
The lyrics of the songs are here: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/skysailing/sailboats.html
