Bitmap Monogram

Original Design

For this assignment I choose to focus on flow. Creating a unified flow throughout the piece and limiting the illusion of separate boxes helped create a visually appealing view. I used scale and proportion with the numbers. Although I did receive some negative peer feedback on the relationship between numbers and letters, ultimately I decided to maintain the theme. The balance between values is uniform throughout. A main focus was how the letters interact with one another. I wanted the numbers to help create a shape. There was a successful balance of fonts.

To begin this assignment, I started by sketching out the letter forms. While doing this, I tried not to focus too much on the exact shapes, but rather generate alot of ideas with the general outlines. Then I moved to my ipad. I did find that doing things on the ipad was quicker to get the general idea. It was harder to get alignment exact, but allowed me to play around with ideas. I then took the Illustrator document and moved onto the computer. There I was able to refine the details, and make sure I did not have any missing pieces. This was the most challenging part, as my layers were not laid out in the most effective manner.
