When working on this project, my process began with the "What Type Are You?" test. From there I took the time to download the font, and began to play around with the different letters. Our assignment was to diagram all the things we found hidden within our fonts. As you can see, I circled and labeled all the things that were shown within the font itself. As I continued this process, I added the different types of lines that are not visible when typing in programs such as Microsoft Word, or any other software allowing you to type. I used Adobe Illustrator for this project, and within it I used a lot of teamwork. I constantly found myself helping my team, and they were right there for me when I needed help as well.
If/When I ever decide to try this project again, I would try to get my work done faster. This took me 50 minutes to create because I am still getting used to the software, and by the end of our Graphic Design unit, I want to be able to have these basic skills when typing and drawing lines, mastered.
There is nothing in this project that I would probably do the same. I would want to change this whole thing up, new fonts, new sizing, new color. I would want to document how this changes the way my name would appear to another person, on an emotional/psychological level. From this project, I was able to experience new and unique tools, such as the ones found in PathFinder. In conclusion - I really did find this project interesting. I never know based on how words described me, that I would have a font unique to myself. I completely agree with the words I was given. I really would love to do another project like thins again sometimes soon.
