Typography Project- Implied

Size: The text takes up less than a quarter of the page. Implications can often be the main purpose of a sentence, though they are structured so that they don't take up the entire dialogue. This text is the subject, but it doesn't consume the entire piece.
Color: The text is made up of shades of gray, as implications tend to vary in how obvious they are. They could be blurred and difficult to understand, or fairly easy to identify. Hence, my text for Implied is made up of multiple layers in which the furthest back are the most blurred and transparent- the hardest to see, while the top layers are only slightly transparent, akin to a thinly veiled statement.
Location: It is located in the lower left corner, as implications are never smack dab in the center of a sentence. They are subtle and linger within, yet they are still noticeable.
Texture: The grid-like background gives the light around Implied and the 'i's an almost mesh look to them. Implications tend to be weaved into otherwise bland or normal sentences, which I think is well represented by this texture.
Background: I made up the background out of 'i's and the dots of the 'i's in darker shades of gray. The background makes the text stand out, much like how the rest of the sentence or dialogue makes the subtext within valid. Implications could not exist without a 'regular' conversation to carry them.
