13x19 Poster
I thought of making a word search for my poster when we learned about the grid tool. To play off the word search theme I wanted the message of the poster to be about searching for something. In this case it was searching for happiness. I typed random letters and spaced them far apart. I then copied and pasted the group of letters four times to fill the page. Then, after expanding I was able to use the gaussian blur tool to make the unimportant letters out of focus, which draws your attention to the words of the quote. To further emphasize them, I changed some of the words to red. To place the words in straight lines, I used the align tool making it look like a real word search. The message of the poster is "The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness"- Eric Hoffer
