Vietnam+Wordle

Artist Commentary: I chose to use these words because they are the first words that pop into my head when i think "Vietnam War". I made "Vietnam" my largest word because it not only serves as a title, but it shows the importance of remembering the war. I chose to use mostly dull colors to symbolize the sadness and harsh conditions soldiers had to endure "in country". However, the green was used to symbolize military colors. The black backround was used to think of a black hole, because when you go in you can't come out. This made me think of Vietnam because many soldiers who went there didn't leave... they died. I used this font because it made me think of the military and it looked stern, just like the conditions they had to endure. I also decided that the font should be more rounded because that would make it seem worn down, just like the soldier's souls.
