I have been analyzing the selection of photographs and considered ways of creating letter forms from them. This first idea investigates how the images will appear on an existing font, using a clipping mask.
Today I went out to document plant life and any letter forms I could see. The tree below was one of the best examples with an unusual 'u' shaped branch.
I was also keen to capture a range of colours shapes and textures that could contribute to the design.
This is a realistic way of manipulating plant forms to create letters. However I think it appears to manipulated and unnatural. Interesting idea though. This is a nice idea, to cut the letters out of the leaf. I thought it might look more natural if the letters are cut with small holes and a jagged edge as though they had been eaten away by an insect perhaps.
