An Artistic Alpahbet

Typography is VERY important in art; especially in graphic design! So you are going to create an artistic alphabet.....from A to Z! I have made a board showing some examples. You can do it however you like, by just using fonts or using graphics as well, you do have to make it interesting and artistic. You will be posting this to your blog as well as printing it out!

Here are some guidelines:

Use blending options!
Use different fonts- they can be downloaded easily and free from the links on the blog.
Use brushes- add some interest- I will show you how to download brushes and use them artisticly!
Clip art only! NO GOOGLE IMAGES (OR ANY PHOTOS UNLESS YOU TOOK THEM). Use the AEA website!
COLOR! Use different colors!
Creativity! Be creative!!!

Here is a link to the board of ideas!!!!!
