By using Adobe Illustrator I experimented with the font Helvetica in various colours, sizes and compositions. In my first piece I grouped the letter M together in red, blue and yellow and replicated this until and pattern was created. I like this piece as I feel the crisp white background highlights the primary colours of the M's. By using just the letter M it also creates a zig zag pattern to add to the depth of the creativity within the piece, which I think echoes work by minimalist graphic designers. By creating this document it allowed me to achieve greater understanding of colouring and alternating typography and using the grouping tool effectively.
In my second piece I was able to create a random composition and sizing of typography by creating a scatter brush, which helped me understand Adobe Illustrator a lot better. I really like the way in which areas heavy of text create a black blotching effect just like if an ink pen was being used. I'm also attracted to the idea of making art out of typography instead of just plain boring writing on a page.
