Digital Art / Vector / Objects

Poster for our FA 171 "Typography in the wild" homework. Can you guess what objects I used?

This is the result of:
1. Taking photos of objects at home that are shaped like the letters of the alphabet—all 26 of them, uppercase and lowercase.
2. Vectoring all 52 photos.
3. Laying out each photo beside each vectored letter. That’s 52 pages in PDF format.
4. Combining all vectored letters (without the photos) into one 11x17in poster.

It starts out exciting, looking around the house and searching for “letters” and vectoring them. Until you realize you’ve spent the last hour searching for anything that resembles the letter “f” and you start counting down to how many more layers of pen-tooling you still need to do. But when poster-making starts and all the vectored letters start coming together, the whole image it creates makes all the hard work worth it.
