I chose this image of “Polka Core” because it uses text in a way that breaks from its traditional boundaries.  Unlike normal flat looking text, this has a sense of depth because the design continues to recede into the background.  The positive space is illuminated by the readable text and the negative space is filled with continued tubes of the same look only darker.  I am currently in a neon class and am learning how to bend and weld glass tubes.  I was drawn to this design because the trumpet tubes look like glass neon tubes and the curves and bends mimic the same techniques used in neon bending with some difference.
