Proud - My Blood (revamp)

Description

I uploaded the original version of My Blood (Link) a little over two years ago, but had never been content with it.  Something about the juxtaposition of Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag just didn't sit well, even though I liked the motif of drips from the red strip representing blood.

Looking at it from a slightly different approach, I removed the flag (transplanting the colours of the flag to the words) and reorganised the lettering so that the letting itself became the main focus of the design... which I feel has tightened it up rather nicely.  I had intended to have the lettering only span 6 rows, however the width of "human" and "yours" forced me to have seven rows... giving me the unexpected opportunity to add emphasis to "yours" but making it the only word rendered in white.

The drip motif was also transplanted, hopefully adding more emphasis to the final word.

Being of an artistic temperament part of me feels there might still be room for tweaking... but I do feel a lot more content with this revised design.

Rainbow flag: Gilbert Baker
