Expressive Text

Project Description: This was my third Adobe Illustrator tutorial and I am learning new skills every class. Stack texted was the simplest thing in the tutorial. I just got short words and stacked them over each other. Figure ground reversal was a little more difficult because you had to plan on where your letters would be so you could could have the least amount of space between letters. The most challenging thing in this tutorial was the positive and negative space. Filling up a small rectangle with black and white letters sounds easier than it is. Finally, I finished off with ligatures.

New Skills Learned:  I learned how to create ligatures and figure ground  reversal with letters and words.

Shape Tools: Rectangle

Self Reflection: This tutorial was one of my favorites because of all the cool things you can do to a word. This will eventually help me in creating a great logo. The most difficult part of this tutorial was the positive and negative space as it took me the longest to accomplish.

Participation/Project: I did a good job in efficiently finishing my work. I could have tried harder on the positive and negative space but after spending nearly 20 minutes on it i thought it was good enough. 9/8
