Letter Design

Our assign­ment was to create some­thing with a letter from our ini­tials in Illus­tra­tor. There had to be at least 5 dif­fer­ent type­faces used and only one color. I decided on the letter L since it seemed the most flex­i­ble letter.

Over Spring Break I saw a movie on YouTube show­ing a hexa­pod robot mod­eled after an ant (See here: A-Pod). Though I might make a model of that. It turned out to be a bit more dif­fi­cult to make.

Letter Scorpion

It ended up being more of a robot scor­pion thing. I wish I could’ve had more con­trol over the out­lines to give it a better sense of depth.

Now I have to finish my per­sonal flag…

    That is soooo cool!  Those are ALL L’s?!  What are the type faces?

    I couldn’t tell you all of the ones I used because I con­verted them all to curves, but there’s at least five dif­fer­ent ones in there.

    Sweet, I hadn’t seen this one! I think your sense of depth is pretty good. Did you dis­tort the ls that form his front pin­cers?
