Amy Winehouse

The third person I portrayed reading the soliloquy was the one and only Amy Winehouse. She has Bipolar Disorder also known as Manic Depressive. In the media she is known for her drug use, overdosing, failed rehab, self-harming alcohol abuse and staggering on stage. I decided to try and show the self-harming and destruction aspect of her image. I used a typeface called Cracked. It is a typeace, which is quite bold like Amy is her style of clothes and make up. But when you look closer at the type, there are cracks in the letters. I wanted to make the layout of the typography look like slash marks so I positioned the type on different angles and crossed the type over, as well as using the Knife tool in InDesign to cut up more of the text. This make it look even more broken up and damaged
