Love Your Letters: Communicate Visually with Words

Nice work. I really like the whimsical styling of the letterforms, and that you've given the baseline some bounce. I might thicken some of your thin strokes on the small words ("the" and the "G" in go) so it is more balanced.

Thanks Lindsay! I spent some time with the whole thing on serious zoom to clean it up, and I'm not as happy with those smaller words. I'm considering changing their style a bit so there's more contrast (right now i think it's an awkward contrast).

Appreciate the feedback!!

Awesome work Carrie... definitely has a whimsical charm to it. Would love to see your sketches on this.

I tried with my terrible phone earlier... Didn't quite work out. I'll try again tomorrow. :)

You'd think I was coming up with a kid's name or something... Decision paralysis! Thank you for the encouragement.

Go Carrie go!

I like the clock idea and can't wait to see how you get there!

haha, thanks Mitch! I can't wait to see how I get there either. :)

haha that's funny! but isn't that how it goes? you just doodle and sketch away and all of a sudden something starts forming and you find yourself thinking... 'wow, look at this! where did this come from!' haha :) have fun discovering what you can do!

Finally got my sketch finished and brought it into illustrator. Part of me feels like I cheated with all those right angles, but I also feel like the style is more fitting for Wonderland.

So many good quotes to choose from! I had to finally just pick a short one and go with it. I suppose after this class I'll be able to do fun stuff with all the other favorites.
Next on my list:
<ul><li>It's the job that never gets started as takes longest to finish.</li>
<li>Where there's life there's hope, and need of vittles.</li>
</ul>-------
