Type Compositions

Playing with type. Playing with type was really fun, but I don't think that this result is anything to be proud of. It is whimsical and fun, but not anywhere close to a masterpiece. This composition was more of an experiment with illustrator and the type tool. It was just to see what I could do.

I have always though that Q's look like quails and G's look like geese, so that is where this composition got started. It is also another experiment with type and illustrator. Again, it'd alright, but nothing special.

My third experiment with type I did by hand (and cat paw). I used india ink and a bamboo brush to make two intertwining C's. I also used college in the background and cut windows in the brown paper to create a nice layering effect. My cat also got into my ink halfway through, so used him as well. The result was an intriguing composition and ink splattered all over my face. I think that this compostition was a nice blend of everying I have been working on so far inthis class.
