I tried many different typefaces but I chose to use the same one throughout the entire assignment because I wanted all five of my pieces to flow together. The “engravers” font I used has strong serifs on each letter which I felt was much more appealing with all the different ways I merged the letters together. It seemed like the sans serif fonts just got lost and didn’t even look like letters after manipulating them a bit. The Engravers font was classic like James Dean which was my theme of this assignment.
The five letters I chose were not random at all. I started out with the letter “D” because that is my favorite letter. I have always felt the letter “D” and names starting with “D” are very masculine and strong sounding. I decided to use James Dean’s initials/name for the other letters because he is one of my favorite actors and I also have a tattoo of him on my foot. The letters I chose are J. Dean.
I like all 5 of my compositions as a whole because they are each unique but still flow together nicely. But I have to say my favorites are both the pieces with James Dean pictures in them. The other more basic ones I did kind of bore me but I didn’t want to overdo it by putting photographs in every single one. I am very big on the idea of “less is more” so it is easy for me to decide when a piece of art is done because I don’t let it become overdone. I feel the same way about art, fashion, and home décor. I never want to do too much. I like to keep it classy and chic. If you overdue it things start to look as if you are trying too hard.
