Letterforms

After doing this project, I learned that there is a lot more that goes into creating letterforms than you might think, and sometimes it can be very hard to figure out what might represent the word the best. I also learned how different styles, and forms of the word can make the word more meaningful.

If I could do more of letters like this, I would try to make more time to make better forms of my word than I did. I would also try to not pick a word someone might also be doing, which I found out on critique day. I would also make sure I make it more clean and neat initially because it will save a lot of time and extra work.

I overall felt this project wasn’t all that bad as in hard, but it was a lot of work. You had to keep trying things over and over again until you felt it was right, and conveying the meaning it was supposed to. I think I tried over 10-15 different forms of the word, and printed over 100 rough drafts of possibilities of what I wanted to do. This took some patience along with not giving up. It also taught me how artists work. They work over and over again. They edit and keep editing until they get it right. I thought art class would be easy, but I have to say it is a lot of work, and failing work is always frustrating. If you put in the effort and don’t give up, that is how you will do well.
