Playing with words

So, the exercise with the words is done. It was not easy task because sometimes I did not know which font should represent the word better, so it was long process with choosing typeface. Also I had problems with right means of the words. I used fonts from  http://www.dafont.com/ and fonts which I bought (Zurich, Swiss (Helvetice) etc.)).

For starting word SAD I choose gray color for background and a little bit lighter gray for fonts because gray color is sad to me. I wanted to intensive the feel "sad" by rotation of letter A and D. The word SAFE: I made green background to express the harmony, honesty, growth together with the serif font. The lock should increase the trust that it is safety.
  

SARDONIC: one of the hardest word for me. I do not know if I am right but I made the word as someone who is "spactic". There I used the Zig-Zag filter. The color and fonts were just nice for me. SAUCY I made by handwritten font just as show it in playful form. When someone is saucy he/she could be uncomfortable for another by also it could such a form of game and playful (I hope that I am right with my English).

SCHOLARLY: I used here serif font and blue color to support school things, no more no less. The SERIOUS: here I wanted something solid and shining thing, also here I could use seríf font but the sans serif Zurich font with metal look worked for me well in that case.

SHADOW: I used here the layer style to build shadow of Zurich font and I think it works very well in combinations of the shadow around the word (it could be more stronger in color such as it the shadow under the word is). SHATTERED: my first thing was something in bottom broken in a corner, the sans serif font I used because is more readable in that form than serif font. I just simply cut the word in three parts and rotated them to make shattered feel.

SHY: I wanted to represent here someone who is hiding behind something because is blushing and is demure. SHORT: (my favorite) my first idea was to make a figure of a man. Also the red color is a form of demure.

SILLY: ok, first thing was a clown, so I tried some filter with square texture (pattern) and colorful font. SINKING: I projected in my mind a boat (word) broken in two parts which is "sinking" to the bottom of the sea.

SKIMPY: I used the word in the mean in "twiggy" look. That is the reason why I used the light font in color. SLEEK: I found that font on webpage http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=space and I think it works well. I added effect which I made by brush in photoshop to support the feel of SLEEK.

SMART: I used sans serif font and bulb from previous part. I did not think about it very long just as the process went along ...... . SNOWY: also one of the hardest word. I like the version which made emma. I thought that version that font will be print in snow surface should work well.

SODDEN: I used here filter spherize to distort Swiss (Helvetica) black font. The blue color represent water here. SOOTHING: here I am not sure about the font because the font has sharp serifs and it has not nothing with soothing but I tried to change the font and this works here best.  

SORDID: I made that word according my memories. The font I found on the web myfont.com. SOPHISTICATED: it is something which have high level of highness so that the reason why I used the serif font.

SPEED: I think the font which I used here is typical for painted flames on muscle cars and motorbikes (chopper/harley). I like it, I supported it by blur noise in background. SQUAT: I just choose some Techno font from myfont.com.

SQUEEZE: I used transformation distortion to press the text here.  I do not know why I used the color but I like it. STIFF: my another favorite word. It looks like a logotype. I like it.

STODGY: for the dull feel I used the grey colors and playbill font, I am not sure if the playbill font is dull but it works for me here. STONED: here I wanted use a texture which remind a concrete. I also thought that it will be nice to have some rotated fonts such as they fall down.

STYLE: I wanted here to stylize an advertisement we saw around us. I used sans serif font and supported it with pattern in background. It reminds me marks such as NIKE, ADDIDAS etc. SUPINE: I wanted be here very simple. The first idea was to simply rotate the word but suddenly an idea with the "i" came and it is here. I like it.

SWAGGER: Again, I wanted be here simple. I found a color palette for word Swagger on web. After it I simply transformed the text with background. SWEET: I wanted here to color the font with colors remind a candy and it works well here.
