TypeFace Art
In this assignment, we had to create an object of our choice in Adobe illustrator CS3 by only using the letters in that object/animal to create it. For example, If I wanted to produce a chair, I could only use the letters C, H, A, I, R to create it. We were only allowed to use one font but we were allowed to duplicate, rotate and resize the letters. We were not allowed to stretch or transform any letters. I was expected to produce a 8.5x11 typeface art and by only using the letters to create an image of my object or animal. My final product is a Gorilla screaming with dark shaded eyes. I couldn't decide whether I should fill the whole gorilla with dark gray to resemble the hair or leave spots blank and fill only a portion. I ended up not filling it in due to the amount of time left. I used the element "Size" through out my project. Resizing the letters from big to small. I also utilized the element "Color" and "Value". I used color by changing the color of the letters and I used Value by changing the tone of a color. I used the principle "Repetition" by simply duplicating the letters. My final design accurately represents my sketch because I scanned my sketch, placed it in Adobe illustrator and just filled it in with letters. =)
