Lyric Typography

I broke up the lyrics and organized them according to the emphasis used in the song- the words night, silhouette, sweet, and violet were heavily emphasized. To further emphasize the words, i created effects and shape to bring out the meaning. I added a gradient to the word night to make it seem like it was in the dark or shadows. The tapered lines leading into the word silhouette draw attention to it. The word sweet is also emphasized in the song, i created this emphasis with the lines underneath. The word violet is sung in a broken manner, so i spaced the letters further apart to convey this. I used the color purple because the text says the color, and it creates an eerie and mysterious feeling that appears through the song. I made the text white on a black background to emphasize that it takes place at night with the moon shining.
