Font Poem!

This quote "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun." is a quote from the Billy Joel song "Only the Good Die Young". I chose this quote because I truly live my life by this quote. I would much rather have fun and be considered a sinner, than to hold back from living just to be well behaved all the time. I strongly believe that one must rebel and make mistakes to learn life lessons and to most importantly have fun in the process. The song in its entirety has a great message, basically it states that you should live fast, die young. I am a firm believer that you never know which day will be your last, so you have to live each and every day to its fullest. This quote definitely portrays that message.
I chose to use the font Orator Std. for the words that did not need much emphasis, because the font looked like a pretty standard font and would not take away from the words I wanted to emphasize. For the word "laugh", I used the font Giddyup, because the font seemed like a very fun font, a font that would coincide with laughing. I used the font Eccentric for the word "Sinner", because the font stood out and appeared to be confident and standing tall. I put the words "laugh" and "sinner" in red because they coincide with each other and are in the same line. For the word "cry" I used the font Herculanum, because the font looked sad to me, and did not appear to make a bold or happy statement. I used the font Lucida Handwriting for the word "saints" because it appears church like to me. I chose to make the words "cry" and "saints" Cyan Blue because Cyan Blue appear to be saint-like and pure. The word "much" is in the font Cooper Black, because it is bold and really emphasizes the word "much". And finally, the word "fun" is in the font Rosewood, because to me, it looks like a font that would be used at a circus, and a circus to me, symbolizes fun. I made the line "The sinners are much more fun." much larger than the others because I feel that that line is the most important one, it shows that its better to have fun and be a sinner than be sheltered or held back and be a saint.
I found it very difficult to navigate around Photoshop at some points because as a class, we were not shown how to make different font effects and we had to figure them out on our own. I worked with this difficulty by asking one of my classmates for some help and by playing around with the tools.
I am most proud that I could use one of my favorite quotes and make it into a piece of personal art. It was awesome to be able to choose a quote that many people may know, and make it my own. If I had more time I would have played with the layout of the fonts, and would have added a halo over the word "saints" and a devil's tail around the word "sinners". I would have also rotated the fonts and played with the finishes I could put on the font.
