I wanted to approach my project not just with the idea of of dynamic drawings, but also of dynamic words. I also wanted to add a little humor (or humour) to the project, the changing of color from green is a slight nod to the “right way” of spelling the word. If I had more time, I would have found a way to incorporate more words that are translated differently from culture to culture, but in the same language.
