Jordan Grimaud Vector Exercise



       For this vector project I chose to show how the words horror and fear interact with one another.  Most people think of horror and fear as almost the same thing, one just describes a situation and another an emotion.  However, I wanted to show how in truth horror inspires fear so I made the word horror large and menacing and almost attacking the word fear which is small and cowering in the corner over a black background to hint at the horrors that lie in darkness.  
       To create the image first I chose a font for horror that seem menacing, and then converted it to an object so I could stretch out its anchor points to give it spindly needles and distort it.  I enlarged the size of it and placed it in the corner.  In order to create the shape I wanted to the word fear I changed the color to a deep red and ungrouped the letters so I could stagger and rotate them to give a cowering form.  Then I just placed the word at the bottom corner and added a black background.
