A flat image.

To Haiku, or NOT To Haiku... that is the lesson!




These are the 3 pages to my haiku and here are 5 reasons why I designed it accordingly:

1. Page 1 is inspired by the word "enduring". Green is a color that signifies life. Life endures.
2. "Enduring" also has a drop shadow signifying it's lasting presence.
3. Page 2 is designed around the word "loneliness". "Loneliness" is brighter than the other text so that it stands alone in a sense.
4. "Loneliness" is also elevated because it can get lonely when you achieve above and beyond.
5. Page 3 has "Replenishing" in an aquatic blue (Water replenishes). "Charcoal" of course is known for it's black color.

Hope ya'll enjoy!
