Project 3

  

  At first, I had no idea what letters I was going to use to work with in my images. After some thinking, I decided to use the letters of my name and started to play with letters. I beleive that for the first couple of letters I stayed with the default typeface, but later on used different kinds of typefaces. A friend was with me at the time helping me choose colors and typefaces at the time. Most of my designs were random and off of the top of my head. 

  The letter A was difficult at first, but after I figured out how to use free transfrom better, it was simple. The instructional videos were very helpful, especially when it came to rasterizing my letters to cut them up.My first two letters were fairly easy because I mainly used free transform and made duplicate layers, fitting them together to make shapes. For the letters that I did rasterize, I had fun manipulating them by changing their size, shape or even drawing on them. The letter E has got to be my favorite because I thought that, with the kind of typeface I used, it looked like a ship. I fliped the E upside down with free transform and used it as a ship, fighting those nasty E waves. After making E clouds, I decided that my image was done because I didn't want it to be cluttered. Those are the images that I put most of my effort into, for the other letters I started to run out of ideas. In all of my images, I played around with the different kinds of layer formats, X being the most noticable. This was another fun project and I look forward to the next!
