Creating a Letter with Illustrator

Hi everyone!!!

This entry I will show you my work that is creating the letter "L" by Illustrator software. I created the 5 letters "L" by using Pen tool. I will count to follow the order from left to right and from 1 to 5

1. That is just the normal letter L. I just draw as a normal capital L letter
2. I tried to draw the special letter L so I drew the letter L as cartoon style. Do you feel it looks like as leg wearing NIKE shoe. Besides that, I also drew wings as a Greek God-Hermes
3. I drew the other letter L and after I finished it I felt it doesn't look like the letter L. (T_T)
4. I drew the other letter L again and I put it eye, nose and legs
5. Finally, I drew it as Vietnamese calligraphy style

Hope you enjoy my work and receive your any comments. Thanks for reading

Gestal Practice 2

With this work, I tried to apply the gestal theory. After I added the text into the flower picture, I used line tool to draw lines and I put it as rectangular. Do you feel your mind will close the blanks between the 2 lines automatically. That is closure. My work looks very simple. Maybe I should try to pratice more...

Hope you comment for me to improve gestal theory. Thanks a lot

Gestal Practice

Hi everyone!!!

With this work, I also tried to apply gestalt theory into it. I used 2 flower pictures, one is main picture and I use second flower picture to cut and paste it into main picture. The color of pasted flower is white and it has same color with the main picture so I change the color from white color to yellow color. When you see this work, which flower are you attacked mostly???Is that yellow flower?

If the answer is Yes, I am successful to apply similarity with this work. Because most flowers in this work are the white so when I added the yellow color, it will make flower easy to identify. Besides that, I also pasted the flower one more, resized and arranged it to center of the yellow color. After that, I changed its color to be green color. I used overlap to make a strongest gestalt.

If the answer is NO. Haizz... I must try to practice more....^-^!

Thanks for reading and hope you comment
