Snowy
Font - Billie Harley
Placed in different areas, and different sizes, to emphasize snow falling.
added a light blue background to look like a snowy background (represents ice, blue sky)
added dots of snow in different sizes and areas, to emphasize snow falling.
Snowy means when something is full of snow as well, so I wanted to show all the snow is collected together on the ground, added by brushes.
Sodden
Sodden means soggy or soaked. I wanted to create a feeling of a soaked typeface.
Font - IM FELL DW Pica SC - Bold, Size 150 pt. minimized the distance between letters to -150 to create a more soaked and swollen feeling.
Added drops by brushes.
Colour light blue = water.
Soothing
Font - "Holland" size - 150, colour white added a slant
position - top right
Background Colour - purple
white and purple give a sense of serenity - which is soothing.
Sordid
Sordid is usually apply to something corrupted, dirty or shady. So I wanted to create a feeling of something unknown ... "between the lines"... or behind the scenes.
Font - "Ultravog Glitch" size - 150 pt
I played with some filters - added a light bokeh and a grain.

Sophisticated
Font - Didot size - 80 pt with a slant
flipped the i and made it a mirror-like look.
Speed
Red means power, and I wanted to emphasis the power of speed and being fast.
I chose the font "Triester Sans" size 70pt since it reminds me of a font of power and sport. I gave it a slant to emphasize the speed better and added 3 lines before the word.
I played with the filter of motion blur, gave the front lines less blur and the first 2 letters "sp" a bit more" and finally the end of the word "eed" even more blur.

Squat
Font - "Covered By Your Grace" size 150pt
I wanted to make the shape of a squatting stick man, so I doubled the T to make it look like legs. and gave the back leg a gray color.
Squeeze
font "Architects Daughter" size 70 pt. space between letters -100.
played around with the angle of it so it's round.
Added and drew an orange and an orange squeezer.
Stiff
font "Mesquite Std" size 400 pt
I chose this font to create a feeling of stiffness, added another layer of the same size font in the same place, and played with the filter of box blur to give it a faded sensation of the same brown "rusty" color. chose to paint the background with black color to give it more of a feeling of stiffness.
Stodgy
heavy and hard to digest I chose shades of brown, also heavy I wanted to emphesize by a stack of words typeface. I used the font "Blackoak Std" in different sizes and angles.
Stoned
I wanted the letters to look like a smoke off a joint - I have used the font "Chalkduster" in different sizes, and angles.
I added brushes os "smoke" around them and a drawing of a lit joint.
Style
when it comes to Style I like to keep it clean and minimalistic, I have used the font "LouiseWalker" which is very stylish in my eyes, and size 100 pt. I think that when something is stylish it says it all and you don't need to over-do it. I chose the color light orange, since its very light and calming. I would have used a slant usually for something stylish, but this font has a cool natural slant to it so I didn't want to over-do it.
Supine
font - "Indie Flower" size 100 pt
laying on it's back face up.
blue- lazy, dreamy
Swagger
I wanted to create something that will highlight the word Swagger. I decided to use black background and yellow typeface (swagger is someone that is full of himself or arrogant so black and yellow are the danger colors in nature).
I chose the font "Triester" since it is a very cool font in my eyes.
put it on an angle with 200 pt in size.
Then I started playing with the filters, gave it some solarize to give it a nicer yellow color.
Then I gave it an emboss but wasn't sure if I like it
I kept playing with filters and tried "Dust and scratches".
I preferred this filter better.
Sweet
i chose to play with shades of pink and purple.
I chose the font "Swanky and Moo Moo" size 120 pt with a slant.
I created a shape of a candy, and painted the big round shape with a brush.
Then I played with filters on the typeface, I've used "Oil Paint" to give it a sweeter touch.
REFLECTION
This exercise was actually a lot of fun, but also very challenging at times.
I liked to use the different tools colors placements and even drawing, using brushes and different effects to emphasise the definitions of the words. It was a very creative process and also time consuming but paid off to see it all done.
