Sunburst! I took the four-star image and only repeated it three times. The difference was the rotation of the image and overlapping.

While I was creating this design, my mind was drawn to a night's sky. At night some stars appear larger than others depending on the distance from land. Also, night can also portray a peaceful escape/atmosphere. I decided to include the word "serenity" because I believe its placement fit perfectly into the design.

Strength-Here I took a set of 13 four-stars. Each layer had three identical starts that were equally rotated. There were four layers and the top was one star. The top star has an increased outline to emphasis strength. The next two layers have a semi-increased outline and the last stayed the same.

Word Portrait

This exercise was very interesting, more psychological than anything. I found myself wanted to use the actual font names as examples. For example, the "Chiller" font-  I wanted to use the word Chiller! Or I was drawn to using synonyms to the font names. Once I was able to think of my first example, my second example was very similiar, and the last was a complete antonym of the first two. I really enjoyed this exercise because it forced me to think outside of the box in creating word representations.
