Purpose: Examine different Letterforms and Experiment with: Design Principles, Gestalt Principles, and Elements of Art. Create multiple designs showcasing your experimentation and examination.
Task: Create 6 unique and interesting designs using only your initials. Keep in mind the positive and negative space as well as the different shapes created by those letters. Think of the letterforms as shapes and use those shapes to create interesting designs.
This can be done by hand or in Photoshop, as long as you follow these basic rules:
- Use as many fonts as you'd like, but I'm also fine with you using the same for all. (Please no comic sans or papyrus)
- Only use 2 colors.
- All designs need to be the same size square and all contained onto 1 page.
- Leave a comment that tells me the letters used and font.
Submit: A Single PDF/JPG in Landscape Orientation including the 6 square designs. Keep in mind, these are not logos, but experimentations.
I have created a Pinterest board with various examples and inspiration you can view HERE Links to an external site.
