Big Waves, Big lungs

Here's another project I did this quarter for Vector and Raster Graphics. The assignment was to take a magazine headline and manipulate the typography so it "speaks" about the article. I chose Huck Magazine and an article entitled "Big Waves, Big Lungs". The story was about bringing aspects of free diving into surfing in order to conquer bigger waves. For the type, I started out with Minion Pro and messed with it so it would look as if it were filled with air and at the same time have a surfer feel. I also sampled my colors from the image featured in the original article.
