This Broken Heart | Concept Design


Challenge

To create a poster using only words from a song or poem, and to use this selection to illustrate the feeling portrayed.

Solution

The selection chosen is titled This Broken Heart. The type used has a rough and unconventional feeling to it, this paired with the black and white heart illustration creates a sense of being dark and gritty. The black texture is created by using the lines of the poem overlapping each other many times. The only words that are able to be read is the single line, “I can feel my heart breaking, only for you it is for the taking.” The reason for having this line be readable is because of its importance; this is where the name of the poem came from.
