More Savior, Like Thee

There is a huge design challenge inherent in the text of this song: every line starts with the same word! I decided to choose a clean, unadorned style for the text and alternate the starting point with an indention so the word “More” did not repeat in column form.  I also realized that the Savior is referenced once in each verse and that those references came on different lines and could thus create some variety amid the repetition. I had just gone with other members of the Calligraphy Guild of Indiana to tour Twinrocker, a handmade paper company in northern Indiana, and had purchased various sizes of lovely papers that I realized fit well in a frame I already had.  When it came time to choose colors, I decided that since so many of my pieces featured saturated colors, I would choose a more neutral and muted palette.
