Week 3: Letters

        As of now, this is the best that I can do when creating simple font silhouettes. Now, I will begin to stylize my fonts to make them look more personalized and crafty.

Now that I know how to use the software effeciently,  can draw, clean, and stylize my fonts to make them look more like my own work of art. #FULFULLING-POST MODERN-AGE-OF-ART

ABC Simple Draft Font

Techno Futuristic Font

Craft

This piece was constructed to experiment with the tools of adobe illustrator. The purpose was to use the tools provided to stylize text and create new fonts in preparation for created artworks. The tools in the program that was used would be the paint brush, copy & paste, pin tools, and more along with the skill to draw my ideas with manually. These are the things that were used to make this find achievable.

Concept 

         This created font was made to appeal by sight as well. The use of the style of thick boarders brings out the outer edges of the font. I also added a hint of eraser to make the smooth outlining narrow and bumpy. I made this addition so that the font would has some type of future taste to it. Now, instead of looking at the edges of the letter because it has more contrast, it is seen more because of it weird incomplete smoothness. As many would notice, the outlining is shifting a lot, thinning and bolding spontaneously. This is why the font is futuristic because it is somewhat boxy and unusual.
Composition

           The parts of this font that should stand out should be the edges. This is because they are creating contrast both surrounding the letter and outlining the negative space. The idea for this font is that text is eventually going to be this way because sloppiness is going to be in favor due to the long years of smooth fonts.

Week 2: 100 Lines

 Chichen Itza  

  

     
  There are many things in the world that are considered art; these things are objects or people that are identified as art potential. When something has art potential, it is recognized by the viewer, and if it is astonishing or interesting, then it will attract other. When the work of art is known well enough, it becomes a famous art piece; thus, it is brought to the attention of many who will judge whether or not it is as interesting as many say. When the art piece becomes world-known, it becomes a part of global recognition, and if there is no other art like it in the world, it may be called a world wonder. This creation is the temple of Chichen Itza, but was this the first product of this image. Well, of course not, there were other stages that made this brilliant piece of art.

        At first, it was a hand drawing created by the use of simple lines descending diagonally from a focus point. These lines continued to flow away from each other but still keeping a parallel position. Then, the lines began to break apart simultaneously, from simple straight lines into 3/4 views of a 2-dimensional square. It is here where the outermost of the temple is represented by the rough and step-like structure. In the center, the use of straight lines create the stairs or walk path through line perspective to show that the stairs and the whole temple, is gradually increasing from bottom to top. There are usages of the three points: craft, composition, and concept.

1.     Craft

a.     The use of digital tools such as crayons, markers, charcoal, etc. used in software.

2.     Composition

a.     The technique for strokes and brushings such as pulse strokes and small cross-hatching.

3.     Concept

a.     The use of thought to identify the most realistic way to create an image that looks ancient through charcoal brushes.
