Monogram

Creating my initial 100 different ways was difficult but I had some interesting outcomes, like shower gel on a triscuit. A photo of my 100 initials are included to the right. Ultimately, the most visually interesting initial was one I made on watercolor paper using water and India ink to make blooms.

Next I had to create typographic art using an essay I wrote about where I see myself ending up in the graphic design industry. I decided to imitate the blooms in my K by laying water splotches on the same paper I used. In illustrator, I used the pen tool to create the general shape of the splotches. I used these splotches as a guide for my type. 

The copy in this piece is an essay about where I see myself in the graphic design industry and why. To manipulate the text I used the Touch Type tool to modify the size and position of each letter. I tried to use the variations to emphasize more important words and phrases.
