Not all the text "makes sense", but I guess some of it counts can count as "found poetry"...It was an interesting exercise, it got me to notice the design value of fonts. Now I have a designated envelope for font collection.

Crusade nr 43 - Text messaging
I had no text to use for the page. I usually clip text for its meaning and not for the design value of the font. So I went on a pre-crusade hunting in the recycling. Then, I decided to use the grid layout from a previous crusade. I painted the background black and white, then glued the text and I ended up with this:

I love these pages.... very dramatic with the black and white.
These look great Mona. I really like the grids with the black and white. Great contribution to this months Crusade!
The grid lines and the grungy black colouring make it almost look like an aerial view of busy city streets. Great interpretation.
The grid, the paint and the text really belong together. A super piece!
I love the grid!! It is so modern and chic. The black & white also gives an edgy look. Very cool!!
Mona - I was going to say what Debra said - lokks very map-like. Very cool. Love that this made you look at fonts in a new light. The large and small look so cool together in your clever layout. Thanks for sharing with the team!
WOW! Very dramatic and strong! Almost a bit gothic... Beautiful!
I love the grungy look you've achieved. Good luck with hunting down and keeping more text - I think there's a bit of that around at the moment LOL
I think the grid gives an extra dimension to your pages. It worked out very well.
Love the tiled effect and the black and white. This has worked out really well. It was fun, wasn't it?
Beautiful pages, love the shabbyness in black and white !
I really like how you used the grid from an earlier GPP idea along with the current text messaging. Very cool!
The angled grid is quite dramatic. It's amazing what we end up 'seeing' in these crusades, isn't it!
Dramatic use of text and grid. I really like it.
