type experiment 6.5

I took the feedback from experiment 6 and integrated that into experiment 6.5. I moved more with interactivity in the layering and ability to layer text in different directions; giving the option if wanted to read different parts of the pieces. The first few images are photographs of a photograph that I took during experiment 6. For the form layouts, I really let the image shapes create what the ending up form would be; I didn't pre plan the exact shape that I wanted. For the final, in context shots I printed each image out on 11 x 17 and assembled on the wall to take Camus' words further out of context, not only but still pulling out important/descriptive words, but by also printing + placing them on the wall much larger than they would appear in any book form. 

This time I mainly experimented with newspaper paper for what the layouts were created on for form 1+2; form 3 was back to the normal printer paper. I felt that the use of newspaper added not only more visual texture, but also backed up the idea of the printed word + Camus' words being older, but it also added this red/orange glow when layered on top of one another. I was very intrigued by the color overlaying, as well as the gritty texture that went along with it. I'm not too sure yet where I want to move along with yet; maybe something will come to me soon.

feedback.
*make layout more unpredictable
*add a gap/space between all the images
*create a more complete visual system (there isn't one yet with the horizontal+vertical orientations)
*try having height all the same, but different widths
*try up+down movement with verticals
*only rework a few photos if needed to better help the overall system/visual appeal
*try all text in one continuous line; that's how the piece wants to be read
*print in color
