My Poe project for the Adobe Illustrator class where we were using the tools and drawing and painting with words. I did make the title into a paint brush and warp the word "wind" but I did take more of a graphic artist's approach to this. Here is the breakdown...
• The title represents the heart beats, beating strong and rising up from the ground.
• The mouse's tail leads to the heart under the floorboards.
• I kept the heart a simple outline to give that black heart feel of the characters.
• The colors were kept to black and red, very horror-like in my palette. Black symbolizing the night and the darkness of the act and the red for the blood.
• The story copy in the ground drills downward like burrowing.
• The quote referring to the mouse wraps around the shape of a mouse.
• The quote talking about the wind and the chimney wraps around to form the shape of the chimney and house as a larger word "wind" whips through the chimney.
• The word "mouse" is used to add detail to the mouse-shape with the "o" as an eye, the "M" as the whiskers, the "U" as the inner ear, and the "S" & "E" filling out the shape of the body.
• The words in the sky are warped to add an element of madness to the story.
