Calligram Project
Calligram Project "Advice to a Son" - Ernest Hemingway This calligram was inspired by my favorite poem written by the great Ernest Hemingway. His short poem, "Advice to a Son" is written repeatedly in different fonts depending on the person. The Father (figure on the left) has a clear poem written inside because he is the one offering it to his son. Symbolizing that he is wise and understands life better. The Son (figure on the right) has smaller font written inside him to symbolize that the advice is still unclear in him as he still has a long life to live. The poem is simple, clean, and precise which was why I created the image as such. Rather than adding complicated colors and doing more than needed, I stuck to keeping it transparent as Hemingway lived his life.
