The assignment was to use text in three different ways. The first project was abstract, mainly experimenting with different fonts and weights and lines. The second project was to do a representational picture. I chose to do a flower and then used different font sizes and heaviness to show shading on the flower. I had the most fun with this one and liked the way it turned out. However, if I could go back and do things over, I might experiment more with different fonts for heaviness and be more precise with some of the shading. The third project was to take a word and express the emotion through text. This was probably the one I had the most difficulty with because I didn't completely understand what it meant to express the emotion through text. If given the chance to do it again, I would probably choose a different word to express. Overall it was interesting to experiment with Adobe Illustrator because I have used it before, but not for doing art with typography.
