21 Guns

Couldn't go out this weekend, for numourous reasons.. but some time playing around with Illustrator and listening to music and after a weekend of it, the image you see below is the out come. This is my first attempt at a proper piece focused on typograpghy and i think it turned out ok.

It is an image with all the lyrics from the song 21 guns by Green day. I had a few idas for this piece and through out the two days the ideas just kept changing and evolving untill I decided that i'd started over too many times and this was the final one. I did set out trying to make 21 guns from the lyrics but after a while i realised that there just wasn't enought text to make a detailed looking 21 guns. So i settled for a gun for each verse and a gun for the chorus.

I don't think i'm done with this piece yet, I hope to add a bit more colour and probably try out some shading and a gradiants to bring the text out more, any one with any suggestions feel free to comment
