In my recent work I have been thinking a lot more about modifying the look of the text to fit the emotion of the work. This design comes from lyrics of a Radiohead song I was listening to, “Fitter Happier,” matched to a random picture I found of a business man walking down the street looking charmed with himself. The song is composed of a vocal track created by a computer program that speaks the text that you type, laid over a mix of harsh guitar sounds and random sampled sounds, emoting a sense of fright among words that should be inspiring to the contemporary state of modern business.
The sounds and speaking of a computer program create the irony of the track, and the only line that speaks directly to the point of the song is this ending line, “a pig in a cage on antibiotics.”
