Letter Project

I think the strongest area of my work is the design because I personally like the way the letters overlap and make a loop at the ends when they connect. It looks like a vine of the letter "A". It looks kind of satisfying and it is simple yet different. I like how the "A" in the center really pops out. I think I could improve on using more filters for it to be more abstract. My project looks kinda abstract but I feel it could be a bit more complex.

I thought making the background and using the filters was easy. Everything was easy to use and very understandable. Nothing was really complicated to use. I thought it was hard to shape the letters and place them where I wanted to create an abstract work. The font I chose made it slightly harder to make things look more abstract but I feel like as I used them more i became better at using them to create more complex layers in a simply, beautiful manner.

I used the font Edwardian Script to create a beautiful "A" to start with. I used various tools such as the 3D tool, Warping tool, gradient tool, move tool, and text tool. The 3D tool is what makes the center letter pop out at you. The gradient tool creates a simplistic background, the text tool let me warp the letters using the warp tool as well, and the move tool to flip and stretch the letters in ways I wanted them to be.

I demonstrated the goal by using the tools to create a composition that was simple and abstract using only one letter multiple times. I used many tools to create my work and have look abstract. If I could do this project differently I would use the 3D tool more because it makes the whole project pop and makes it look better all around.
