Letter form: Pattern

Personal Symbols: Reflection

 When starting the assignment I felt like my designs would follow along with a more cartoon like appearance. Most of my sketches follow along with this style, mainly the pictographs. Three dimensional lines and somewhat funny cartoon people and animals are  things that commonly reoccur in my designs.

 Once I finished working on my designs in illustrator I started to realize my pictographs felt rather different than the other symbols. Both my type and abstract symbols dealt with line in some sense but my pictographs fell into the cartoon like category.

 I decided the little man puking the rainbow was my best option to move forward with. Although the rainbow would have been more fitting with my strange art style, the form I ended up with fit with the other designs better.

Personal Symbols: Project Statement

As a designer I am very graphic and illustrative. I often make designs that don't take themselves seriously, almost cartoon like. I'm not quite sure how the type based symbol will turn out but I see the pictograph and abstract symbols being cartoon-y.

Letter Study: Final Forms

I finished up my two chosen designs by making slight adjustments to the ratio of black and white. I did this this to make the figure ground reversal stronger.





In the Z to the left I just removed a small amount of white from the corner.

In the F to the right I adjusted the width of the black to help it easily switch between a white E and black F.
