I took a different approach when designing these pages in comparison to my first Haiku page. The light blue here is meant to represent the sky and the green is the color of the petal. I subscripted the word "falling". I also made it bigger and bold because I wanted to emphasize the idea of the falling petal. Spaces were added between "A" and "falling" and "falling" and "petal" in order to balance the positive and negative space. The word "falling" is also the link to next page.
On this page the blue gets darker. This is surface color of the pond. I left the green the same because the color of the petal remains the same. "Strikes" has a strikethrough and "floating" is superscripted. "Strikes" contains hyperlink to the next page here.
On this last page, the blue gets even darker. This is now deeper in the pond where less light shines through. Again, the green remains the same. The word "sink" is by itself lower on the page meant to represent both the sinking of the petal and the quite solitude of the deep. Spaces were added between "And" and "they", as well as, "they" and "both" so that the page would be filled and the positive and negative space would be in balance. On this page the hyperlink is on the period at the end. This is where both the haiku and the petals' journey ends.
I think that both your color choices and font style work well with the hiaku, however the green is difficult to read on a darker background. I would try a light pink or rose color instead to reference a flowers pedals. Good job.
ReplyDeleteit looks interesting, and thanks for helping me with my haiku
ReplyDeleteGreat contrast in the first 2 slides, and progression with the idea of "sinking". The last pic is difficult to read- I think a change in font color might help :) Well done!
