Project #2: CALLIGRAM
The calligram project was completed in Adobe Illustrator, teaching us how to insert an image, trace an image with the pen tool, and replace those lines with text. It was a simple process, but difficult to get all the curves and turns of the image as perfect as the picture I was tracing.
My calligram depicts a line drawing of an elephant. The text over top is that of a poem describing the elephant as a sacred creature, repeated multiple times in order to make up all of the lines within the image. I used the grayscale to change the shade of some text, and text size was increased along curves to add depth to the final image.
