I looked at Fanelli's use of typography and noted that she likes to use different fonts for each word in a sentence and often with embellishments such as bubble-writing, all capital letters or underlining. She sometimes writes and illustrates profound sayings or phrases so I tried this myself.
Song lyrics were easy to use because they were phrases I know well:
'I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.' from 'This Year' [1] is a very powerful phrase with good emphasis towards the end which I have shown through the enlargement of the type and making it more bold.
'She may contain the urge to run away but hold her down with soggy clothes and breeze-blocks' from 'Breeze-blocks' [2]. I used this lyric as it happened to be what I was listening to at the time and by using a longer phrase, I could try using different fonts for each word. I found this quite difficult and therefore think that using Fanelli's technique works better with shorter phrases (seen in the example).
