Week 4: Alphabet Letters Using Straight Lines
Craft: In Adobe Illustrator, we learned how to make certain letters of the alphabet using the pen tool. We used guides and the rulers to help make the letters proportional to one another. To make a letter, I started at the capline and would go to the baseline. The guides that were displayed were formatted the same way as the guides for any letter. The lines were all straight, and some letters consisted of more points than others. The pen tool helped create corner points for each letter. Because of this, the letters all had various paths. The letters were even filled in with the help of the fill tool.
Composition: With the help of the fill button, the colors that form the shape help the viewers focus their attention on the letters and how they're composed from straight lines. The colors exemplify the straight lines that were used to compose the letters. Similar to the last designs, the background is white which helps direct the focus to only the letters and nothing else. By having a white background, the viewers could clearly distinguish the overall font without distractions.
Concept: The letters that were created represent a feeling of calmness since the letters are filled in with blue and are all the same height. The heights might be the same, but the letters aren't tightly compacted. This makes the letters appear as puzzle pieces because of this design of them. Also, the letters represent a feeling of simplicity since they don't have hooks attached to them. They don't look complicated.
