A little bit of typography

Recently ive been learning the way of typographic design in my own time. Although in the above image i cant claim to own any of the images or fonts, i feel this came across pretty much exactly how i imagined it. The text is lyrics from a song by "The Doors" called "Queen of the Highway". As a fan of The Doors i know they have some whole desert theme going on, with all the movies and albums they've released and even Jim Morrison the bands front man being referred to as "The Lizard King". For this reason i chose this desert scene as a the background image. Also in one of the films a very similar effect of twirling stars is part of the transition between two scenes. Only now i realise i was subconsciously inspired by that scene.

This is an example of some textured text using a painting i did for a previous project. I thought the transition between the red and blue inside the words was really nice and the contrast of the two colours are obviously very strong to each other and the off white background i chose to make it less have less of a clean and bright look. I think the emptiness of the image really suits the words, and the bold colour inside almost shows the confusion that is in the words.
