Week 7- Illustrated letterforms

 My word was Ghoul.


This was one of my favorite exercises. After sketching pages and pages of text and typefaces with a ghoulish feel I picked images to re- create the word. I had to change the size and direction of some whilst altering others more so to make the letter stand out.




                     

                        

I really enjoyed this exercise as it was fun to do. It also helped me stretch my thoughts to include text which i sometimes forget about.

This was a combination of some images I drew from Worcester Cathedral's ancient archives and other drawings I made. I inverted the colors to try and create a different feel to the image and also changed the ghouls to red. I think it works nicely.
