Don't Try. Do!by ^pica-ae

Digital Art / Typography / Conceptual

Oh hey, look who is late to the party? It's me!

I thought I could take a pic, desaturate it, add a semi-transparent colored circle and add some type, too!

Of course, cos I'm a nut, I had to add Bokeh and some crazy level adjustments with "effected" masks. And noise.

Also: this shall be my new mantra. I tend to be stuck in the "trying to do things" circle.

It started out red. But that reminded me too much of Japan. I decided to take green, as it is a more positive color. In this context it can also be a metaphor for a traffic light that tells you to "Go!".

Hope you like it

Really beautiful work. The green color looks very refreshing on top of the dark photograph. Nice typography as well, though i think I would have chosen a lighter weight for 'go!'; right now it seems a bit too dominant.

Thank you

Well, the "Do!" is not a font, it's shaped I created from scratch… I tried different widths for the stroke and this looked the best to me
