DTC 355 – Vector Exercise
For this exercise I choose the letter’s T, R and Y. Since we all know that trying new things can
be fear-provoking my abstract creation is of a dragon. Dragon’s can be frightening creatures
although they are not real. Trying new
things can be scary too, even if there is nothing dangerous involved. To begin with I used the T to create the head
of the dragon, then the R for the body and front legs and finally the Y which
represents the tail and back legs. I
felt that using the stark contrast of black and white was most effective while
I did reduce the opacity of the black to 80% in order to allow the viewer to
see the subtle differences from where one letter ends and the next begins. The typeface I used is AR BERKLEY which
contains many curves along with thick and thin lines. By tipping the letters I was able to place
the characters in a way that would most effectively represent a dragon. As a final touch and to go along with the
overall Asian feel of the piece I added a uniform one point charcoal feather.
My message is an acknowledgement of the fear we may
experience when trying new things. It is
not meant to either discourage or encourage that fear.
