#letterforms and objects

For this Project, I focused on using fun but simple imagery to help show the letters. For the B, I decided on a san serif using Gill Sans Bold, I chose to use the man-made object of a box, and I wanted to show dimension using color but still allow for it to be readable in black and white. As for the serif font, I chose a Bodoni 72, it gave the perfect bottom curve for what I wanted for the leaf I was making, I kept the bottom black to show the G but wanted the leaf to remain colorful but hopefully stay seen.

For the Letterforms and Objects project, I’ll be focusing on the letters O and R, Using the Fonts Baskerville for my natural object and Gill Sans for my Man made object. I will try to have both letters either play off one another or be total opposites, try to communicate relations between both objects chosen if possible. I intend to keep color palettes simple, play some with sizing to work with the object to create a piece that is interesting to look at and doesn't feel cluttered or feel like there is too much going on. My goal is to explore Illustrator and its capabilities with coloring and form about how to best combine a Letter and an Object in a balanced and simple manner.
