The First Draft

The first afternoon we spent on the computer drafting up Helen's plan. I felt her idea of spiralled text getting smaller and smaller on a progressively darker background was a very powerful design, showing the mind of a person curling tighter and tighter in on herself as her pleas were ignored and she felt greater and greater fear for her child.

We laid out the words in a squared spiral in Photo Impact and played with a background in EQ5. We were thinking of piecing the words first and then piecing them together.
