Love Your Letters: Communicate Visually with Words

This is looking very nice! love how you have drawn creativity. and I think it is contrasting well with Courage and I think the swashes extend well throughout the letters, maintaining legibility, but also a nice balance, I would say the courage does need to moved slighty to the right to center it all! Keep up the good work!

like the strength of the letters for the word COURAGE. suggest a bevel or 3D to contrast even more off the flourishes of Creativity word.
Nice work.

Thanks for that . Have a few things to think about!


Interesting. Love the flourishes on Creativity. What informed your decision to keep courage empty? I could see an alternative version of this where Creativity is thinner, and Courage is big, bold, filled in.

Thanks Michelle, didn't think of filling in Courage but like the idea. Will think about that one!

This is great! I don't think you need to add more flourishes, personally. I love the contrast between the fluid, free "creativity" and the strong, clear "courage". 

Have you thought about centering the word "takes"? You could also experiment with placing it in a scroll or framing it with some decorative side ornaments on either side. (e.g. http://www.vectorian.net/products/vintage-vector-side-ornaments)

Looking forward to seeing how it develops. Now to work on mine... :-S

Thanks, Tara,I'll have a look at that link and have a play around.


I love it.  I see what you mean by moving courage slightly, though.  I don't think it needs much moving, however.

^ same! maybe just a few pixels over in Illustrator :)

This is my first sketch. Do I need more flourishes or is restraint best for this one?


I like the tension between the two forms as is.

So, here it is. &nbsp;Creativity takes Courage -Henri Matisse. &nbsp;I think Courage may need to be moved a little to the right?</p>
