Things that make the word look like what it means:

1.) The word is in the bottom corner so it is out of the way and not in your face. 

2.) The font is a kind of cursive writing because it is very elegant and peaceful. Most of the time the quiet is peaceful.

3.) there is no color in this piece, only black and white, because I didn't want there to have an overpowering color that was loud and vibrant. 

4.) The word is small because if it was big, it would feel too overpowering and coming out at you.

5.) I put a radial gradient in the back so it has a smooth transition instead of sharp edges, and so you can see the word without there being harsh exaggeration on the word.

Camouflage

Things that make the word look like what it means:

1.) The words are slightly hidden behind blurred squares to make them seem like they are a little hidden

2.) I made the background green because I wanted the letters so blend in with the words so they would be hidden or camouflage

3.) I put gradients on the letters to give them a pattern that kind of looks camouflage. 

4.) I made the placement of the words going back, blurring each one a little more than the previous. This kind of makes it look like there are bushes in front of each word, giving it a nature-like look.

5.) I made the base color for the page green, because when I think about camouflage I think about nature and green and brown.
