Words/ Mark Poster Critique

In response to questions on critique sheet -

The splatter-like mark quality gives the poster a unstable feel. I think there is more than one emotion at work, as there is a contrast between the white, black, and textured part of the background, as well the quote. I don's really see the mark aligning with a specific gender. The marks themselves, if sound, would maybe be a screech and a deep omniscient hum. If the marks were voice, I think there would be both a strong voice and a whisper. The mark just brings to mind an ink splotch to me, or maybe blood splatter. The sentence is easy enough to read because it reads left to right and starts at the top, moving down, like normal text (relatively). I think the visual breaths are just right, and fit the quote. There is one pause, and it is between the two ideas of the quote. It doesn't become drawn out as they are mostly in line, just the second part is dropped down a bit. This also prevents it from seeming to crammed together and succinct. Although the lines of text are different in size and font, they are the same color, as are their backgrounds. This helps keep the quote seem unified, as does it's placement, just mentioned. The words both boldly state and whimper/whisper, the design of each line create/fit it's voice and meaning. My text does not become part of the image, i wanted it to remain distinct. The separate sections certainly contrast in their design and meaning, as was intended. The entire design is meant to enhance the meaning of the quote, and I think does so well - because of the reasons already mentioned.
