In this design, I used the font, background, colors, orientation, and size to convey the meaning of the word active. The font is very curvy and not straightforward, and the background has the patterns and copies of the text to make the whole thing more active. The colors pop and are very obnoxious to make it very active, and the orientation has the letter moving around. The size also puts the word right in your face, adding to the feeling of activity.
