Vector Exercise

For my vector exercise, I chose to follow an elemental theme. I love that idea of the elements promoting balance and tranquility and thought I could express this in my triptych. The letters I chose were 'e' 'w' and 'f' respectfully, each being the first letter of Earth, Water and Fire. 

Never having worked with Adobe Illustrator before I kept playing around with different buttons and trying different things to manipulate my text. Finally I just started adding different points to my letters and dragging them to create the elements. However, I found that it was easiest to just use a few points and manipulate those to really get the feeling I wanted for this piece, making it look simple and almost prehistoric, like cave paintings.

Adding a different stroke to each text gave them their own feel but also being a triptych made them a whole piece and feeling balanced.

While tough, I really enjoyed this project.
