During a meeting at a real-life club (#NYUDAC) we were designing posters, and I decided that I wanted to have an artistic project to work on for the following days. So I started this on Thursday and just finished it now (after finishing every homework assignment I have until Monday ). The main quote, "Obey the Trap" is taken from the first line of Rolo Tomassi's song, "Nine." This isn't necessarily how I interpreted their song, just that specific quote. It's supposed to be the machine of society producing perfect little copies, which I have recently come to think is quite common. Everyone just goes about their life acting like everyone else.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this and learned a lot from it. I'm very excited with the final copy, and I especially like the tag on the bottom, "Delicately Insert into Orifice." I would love feedback on it! Everything in here was made by me in Illustrator. I have to say that I quite like messing with "normal" geometric shapes and making them come together like they do here. Every part of this piece was placed deliberately by me. Everything is where I want it to be.
I second what Gillian said about reading it! Having the words all clumped up like that really makes you separate out the syllables and you read it in quite a mechanical voice, which is fitting. Plus it looks cool! I really, really love this. Everything fits together nicely, and there's a lot going on but it's still clean and not too confusing.
I was unsure whether or not to do that, but it was fun to play with the words to make them foreign to myself. xD Thank you very much. <: Hopefully I'll do more of this kind of thing, I really had fun with it!
Yeah, it's a really interesting effect! Although at first I did misread it as 'Delicately Insert Into Office'... Which actually might still make sense if you look at it in terms of the machine of society creating generic minds solely for the purpose of work? Maybe? I hope you do create more like this, because you're amazingly good at it. c:

NICE! I like the shapes and how busy it is. I also like how you used colour to help make reading the text easier.
Thank you very much. c: I hope the busyness is a good thing.
I really, really love this.
