Isolation

I made this piece to try out typography and to show I have been feeling of late. Visit the link for more details.

My first typography piece. Your thoughts?

EDIT: I updated the piece with a v2. What do you think?

lolz... i like it :D specially the "exchange apathy for empathy?" part :D

Out of that whole thing, the only good part is the little bit about socialize (which you spelt wrong, the how does not look like an "I"). This is just a jumble of too many fonts, with too many effects behind them. If you want to write out a full paragraph, maybe actually make it a paragraph, these are just hard to follow, or you can make a series of them, each being a different part of the collective idea. Though, even if you go that way, it all needs some work done. And please, don't just throw as many font faces, and styles in as you can, it looks more messy that way.

There is FAR too many fonts on this and a lot of them are lq fonts. Reallly not liking this one mate, sorry.

Try doing each phrase as a seperate piece.

Okay. Thanks. I thought using different fonts would attract attention to the key phrases. And I didn't spell socialize wrong BTW. Different spelling. I only used 5 fonts though.

Thanks.

If "how" is meant to be an "I" in socialize, then it is spelt correctly.
However, loneliness is incorrect.

I see where you're coming from, but the text isn't working for me either.

Yeah, I realized. I'll keep the tips in mind.

Thanks:)

If you search the fundamentals of type on google then you'll be able to see what works and what doesn't :)

I'll do that but I probably won't follow them to a T. Everybody wants their individual style so they don't follow rules after a certain amount of time. They break them in hopes of exceeding their limit, however, I don't think I'm ready to break any yet lol.

I updated a V2. What do you think?

Much better then the first. You won me over because turquoise is my favorite color
