Words and images for Project 3 (Typography)

Here are some of the words I came up with for the letter 'G':

Gold
Gorilla
Glue
Glove
Grass
Grey
Glass
Ground
Green
Gradient
Gravel
Graph
Grid
Giraffe
Gun
Grain
Gasoline
Grit
Garden
Gutter

Initially I thought to use gun and gasoline as combustion, or war, but since war was my theme for our last project I decided I should go another direction. I thought of poaching with giraffe and gun, but I thought that was too close to the example given in class. After more thinking and gathering images and textures I narrowed it down to 'Rough' with grit and gravel, and 'baseball' with glove and grass. Since I am a baseball fan and the season is nearing its end, I think I'm going to go with baseball. I snapped some photos of my own glove and found some high quality images on the web of some grass with chalk lines to represent the foul lines (free stock images). Here is what I have:



I will crop the goal, and the white background out of the images and use straight lines for my composition.
