i want the lines to move around the page like the light does in a telescope.

words and the meaning

I changed the size of each individual letter along with the thickness of their lines. the placement was changed to horizontal and overlapped. the font was changed to myriad pro. it quite literally is white on black.
the word quiet is a soft gray with a thin fill. it is located in the lower corner. the background is a soft color and the composition was designed to be a bedroom since nighttime is quiet. the round circles floating was a Q that had the 3-D effect on it. The I for the bed has a pattern swatch applied that gives it subtle texture.
this is loud due to the rather large size of the word and having it extend past the screen. the background is like a spotlight which is rather exciting and focused. there are three loud's overlapped, one is black, one is yellow with a gradient outline and the third is black and has a 20% opacity. the font was changed and distorted.

Active is used to create a spiral. the words font was changed and made bold. the size was slightly larger but the circle it was attached to changes sizes. each circle was individually resized and rotated to create this spiral effect. the center is off center which changes the composition. the word also has two different colors.this is active because it is forever spinning.
This is my own typography I made using blue paint and a sponge. I wanted to create a scratchy affect so i used little paint and an old sponge edge. I focused the darker blues on the circular areas to create a depth.There is also a little light blue chalk overlaying some of the blue paint.
