In my art class we were given the assignment to use Adobe Illustrator and only using the pen tool draw the alphabet. We had to use a two point stroke around the letters and use 5 fill colors. I tried coming up with letters on my own and make my own design but who wants to create different fonts? I didn't, I also didn't have the time for it either so I outlined many of the letters I used as references. I really enjoyed this project and got better handle of the pen tool which is what he ended up wanting anyways. I wanted a clever way of doing the 5 different colors and I went to what I have thought about other alphabet type posters in the past, as most artists do, and I thought of the vowels and ended up doing it that way. It's a good project to improve your skills with and quite frankly one of my favorite assignments to date.
