Typography

Artist Reflection:

I feel that the strongest part of my artwork was the overall shape that the words created. I think that the image actually portrays what its supposed to be. A part that could be improved is making it less obvious that the image is made out of words. To improve this I could have used smaller fonts or changed the size of the fonts a bit more. To create the art word I used the pen tool to trace the shapes I wanted to work on. Then I used the text type on path to outline the shape of the whale and then text in area to fill in the object. The easiest part of the artwork was filling in the object with words because I just had to type the same words over again. A difficult part was making sure the image looked like a whale and not just black and white letters. I was able to take an image of a whale and create the image out of words, demonstrating the goals of the project. If I could do the assignment again I would pay more attention to filling in the whole image rather than spending my time on the words themselves. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my effort a 10 because I chose an image I thought was interesting, and did the best I could to bring it to life  and make it portray the original image.
