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.
