I created an image that conveyed the emotion of a quote with the use of Adobe Illustrator. A quote from American novelist and essayist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, along with a brief biography of his life, was used as an image to convey the emotion. The quote, “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past” had a great imagery behind it. I used the shape and curvature tools to create a sailboat floating in the ocean under the night sky.




Design principles were used to complete the poster.


Contrast

The contrast was evident between the night sky and the ocean water. Both were shades of blue, however, the night sky contained more shades of blue. I implemented gradient shades of white and grey to the moon to show the image of the craters on the moon.  


Movement

The sailboat depicted movement along with the waves of the ocean. It gives the viewer the capability to see the quote in the image: “boats against the current.”


Alignment

The biographical text and the quote are in their own alignment with their own typography to differentiate their hierarchy in the image. The main point of the poster was the quote. Although it is quite short, it is the visual element I wanted to stand out.
