Having been interested and influenced by the work of Aaron Gilmore and his magical images that he creates out of words and phrases, this gave me ideas into how I could interpret this into my own design. I decided to use Gilmore's method of using words to create an image of a person, beginning with I had orginally drawn a sketch of a male cartoon face crying, which you can make out on the image above. I did a rough, light sketch of the cartoon face to act as scaffolding in which will allow me to place and write the words in the correct plaes, where I will know to physically position the words to the correct curvature, length and size etc. With the words then written in, this gave the overall full effect of a cartoon face made up of words, phrases etc. Within the design process of creating this image I had to give a lot of thought into the types of words or phrases that I had used, in doing so the image is of a man crying showing emotion. The emotion on the character is expressing how they feel, therefore the words and phrases that I had searched and thought of had to be in relevance to the mood of the drawing. The words and phrases used all link to the personality type of someone who struggles with mental illness and depression, the different words and phrases mainly focus on the person's perception on life and how they feel personally from the impact of social media usage and how cyberbullying and hateful, mean and unnecessary insults can place them into a negative mindset where they feel many forms of feeling hatred about themsleves.
