Invisibly Fake



I am sure this is not a product you would expect as a favorite product design. Fake eye lashes are a universal tool for many peoples activities. These activities may include photo sessions, entertainment purposes, recitals, and many more. The fake eyelash has a simple product design making it extremely easy for women to apply them at their homes. Once they are applied they make your eye "pop." Fake eyelashes add a sense of beauty and glamour to a womens look.

Being a performer I really enjoy the way the fake eyelash enhances my show look. It naturally makes me feel more in touch with the perormance. They are light making it easy to forget you are even wearing them. The product is long lasting and will only come off when you desire to take them off. They are affordable to buy and you can get multiple uses out of one pair. In conclusion, I love the way the product [fake eyelashes] enhances beauty and they don't even feel like they are there.

Introducing: Papyrus

 

 I do not necessarily think that this font is a bad thing. Sure it is a type of font that I would easily skip past, but that does not raise question as to why others love to use it. I feel like for something to be effective and noticeable it has to be original and unique. I feel like since you see this font being used non-stop it has lost its "spark" so to speak. Therfore it is not very creative or smart to use papyrus. It is a trend that is going to die out eventually. I think this font only works for specific uses. The font kind of reminds me of a plant shop. [random I know, but isn't this all opinion based?]

So you ask me what I think of the font? I think it is not exactly horrible but extremely overused. It is extremely recognizable to the eye making it easy to bypass in this world made up of advertisements. There are thousands of fonts out there waiting to be creatively used. So go find one that is fit for you!

Words Words Words

Confident: I was trying to depict a bit of puffery with this word.Sort of like when someone puffs out their chest because they are so confident. That why the middle of the text is bigger than the ends of the text.

Hot: The text is red to depict the "hot" of the word. In the background there are also flames coming from the letters referencing that the word is hot like fire.

Blurry: For this word I used an oilspill illusion. It makes the text readable but very vague and difficult to make out.

Broken: This word opens differently in the document I worked on. It looked like broken stones in the original document. I still think that in some way the way it still appears works in a way.

Happy: To me the word happy is vibrant just like the feeling. So I chose to use a yellow color with a playful font.

This was the first time I had ever used a computer generated software for words. [just call me a beginner]. It was really cool to figure out the different effects and tools I was able to used.
