Letterforms

This project consisted of multiple different iterations of a word that we selected. By printing with ink and using different resources, we had to represent the meaning of our word in different ways. With kerning, leading and different modifications, I represented the word, “slide” in multiple ways. With practice with different letterforms and multiple drafts, I was able to create three different final compositions.

When working with letter forms, I got a much better understanding of how much thought actually goes into the different forms of typography and that there are various options for representing words rather than simply stating the word. If I was to continue working with these letters, I would continue to try to push myself even more and try new ideas and be more creative with my ideas. I think using different images and combining them directly with the words could have expanded my work even further.
