- Asked crit group they they think Concrete Poetry is fine, but feel it isn't strong enough as this is the name of the movement/style of poetry.
Could call it Concrete Verse? Concrete Poem?

Go with Concrete Poem, works well.

WHEN LOVE ARRIVES:

Working on the colour, thought about muting the colours:

Greys

Feel like the difference between these is subtle, I like the effect.
This subtle change alongside the different alignment is enough to communicate the two different voices but isn't as much a contrast as the original vibrant colours. 

Lower Opacity

Feel like lowering opacity does little to reduce the vibrance of the text, need to do something that will alter this. 

Muted Colours

Using muted colours works to separate the voices but presents a dull tone, it removes the joy for the appearance.

Feel the most successful is the different greys.
- Should test this in animation and see the impact.

A LETTER TO THE APOCALYPSE:

Thinking about how to make the middle section more dramatic.
- playing with scale of text
- playing with arrangement of text

Justified sections, little space between. 

Creates a clear block image, but there are odd gaps in the text that may be distracting.
The text worked when in columns because it created a grid effect, but it doesn't translate as well here. 

Justified sections, space inbetween. 

With the spaces between it's easier to read. 
Still creates a block effect but makes it easier to see the different sections since there's more white space. 

Left aligned text, space inbetween. 

Looks more traditional, would look punchy when taking up the whole screen but feel it's a bit simple.
Doesn't have as much an impact as other tests. 

Left aligned, no space.

This feels never ending, it flows more like the way Francisco presents the piece.
Test this out in place of poem and see how it looks. 

There is something clunky about this design, feels like the text before needs to look the same and then change when you hover over it.
- Test this. 

This works much better, makes it seem as though there's a change, something happens and it alters.
- Could do with making it snap not fade in and out (more sudden).
