Word as Image

The objective of this assignment was to illustrate a word using that word only. We were allowed to take a literal or an ironic approach to our designs. Going against everything that defines my personality, I decided on the former. I came up with a lot of interesting ideas, but the two that I decided on were "sexual" and "topple".

This one is pretty obvious, so I'm not going to go into detail. But I will mention that the size of the letters aren't consistent with each other. I could have spent more time measuring them to make it a more accurate representation and thusly, a more effective design.

I was particularly fond of this one. Out of all of my ideas, I thought this was the most unique. The friction between the letters creates a sense of intimacy and the coupling of three even pairs worked out perfectly. In retrospect, I feel as though I could have created more contrast between the type and the background to make the word pop out a little more.
