I decided to create some sketches based on a poem called A Poison Tree<\/em>, written by William Blake.
\n<\/br>
\nI was angry with my friend:
\nI told my wrath, my wrath did end.
\nI was angry with my foe;
\nI told it not, my wrath did grow.
\n<\/em>
\nAnd I water’d it in fears,
\nNight & morning with my tears;
\nAnd I sunned it with my smiles
\nAnd with soft deceitful wiles.
\n<\/em>
\nAnd it grew both day and night,
\nTill it bore an apple bright;
\nAnd my foe beheld it shine,
\nAnd he knew that it was mine,
\n<\/em>
\nAnd into my garden stole
\nWhen the night had veil’d the pole:
\nIn the morning glad I see
\nMy foe outstretch’d beneath the tree.
\n<\/em>
\n<\/br>
\nThe poem is very evocative and I wanted to explore ways of enhancing the expression of the words through the SoftTypes developed in Mr. Softie. Each line of text will be augmented, morphed, dissected and molded differently, resulting in almost a graphical representation of the poem itself. The examples were done by capturing the screen and then bringing it to After Effects.
\n<\/br>
\nFirst examples: <\/strong>

\nFont: Chiller
\n<\/br>
\nIn this first example, I also wanted to create masks for a background video from the shapes of the glyphs.\u00a0 The result is interesting, as it adds yet another layer of meaning to the text.<\/p>\n

Wrath with mask
\n<\/a>
\n<\/br>
\nFor the second example, the same lines of text with the same SoftTypes are manipulated differently and no mask was applied.
