Quotes -

I wanted to get a quote on my adjective I looked at some well known ones which were actually quotes from famous songs such as;

- "Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you from doing all the things you'd like to"
which is a quote from The Smiths song 'Ask', this lyric from the song is heavily quoted and shared through blogs and I think it is a nice quote which tells some characteristics of being shy that it is a drawback within a personality.

- "There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how"
A lyric from 'Wonderwall' by Oasis, again another popular blogged quote which I came across, it is interpreted to be related with shy and the drawback of being shy to not be able to say things to people.

I also found some good quotes from literature;

-"Clearly she was expected to say something, but the panic at having to speak stole the thoughts from her head." - Shannon Hale, 'The Goose Girl'

-"One is always half mad when one is shy of people." - Robert Walser 'Jakob von Gunten

Both these quotes again say a lot about the characteristics of the adjective shy. Hopefully when these quotes are written using my type the feeling can be put through not only the quote but the look and style of the characters.


Colours - 

I found these colour palettes which were related to shy, they all consist of glum muted colours including greys whites and even autumnal colours like a muted orange and brown. I intend to use one of these colours or one palette when creating my type specimen. These colours will also be considered if I create a piece of work to show off my work.
