TIMELAPSE
To add "Whispers Amidst Chaos" to the illustration, I used Photoshop with the Impact font for a bold look. I typed the phrase on a new layer, adjusting its size to fit well without overpowering. I also adjusted the spacing between letters (tracking) and lines (leading) for readability and balance. After fine-tuning size, spacing, and alignment, I made final tweaks to color and opacity for a cohesive blend with the illustration's style.
Next,I added the text "ANT" using the Flegrei font. I adjusted its appearance by tweaking the leading and tracking to my liking. This ensured the text fit well with the overall composition.
Then I decided to incorporate the text "May I live like the lotus, serene amid turbulent waters," using the Avenir Next Condensed font. I skillfully masked the text against the illustration, integrating it smoothly with the artwork. This subtle addition aimed to convey a message of calmness and composure amidst chaos.
