Alphabet Soup//Workshop Illustrator Continued

Development 







Above is an idea which is quite simple. It is basically parts of letters that have been extracted from the main letter. With little experience of using Illustrator this was produced after various development and sketches. As it is shown, each letter has a different part of it extracted therefore when letters sit beside one another the legibility may not be very good. 





Developing from the last idea, this design sees each letter extracted in the same place. Therefore when used in context the letterforms should work well as a typeface. However the colour on the white background dosen't make the letters stand out enough. It may even be a bit ambiguous to what it happening to the letters.




Taking into account the previous design, here a black outline has been added to enhance the shape and extracted piece of the letter. Now it is much more clear what the letters are communicating. 


Lastly, it was then decided that a black background would sit well behind the coloured letters as it makes them stand out. It also brings through the missing piece of the letter. Therefore really conveying the idea of extracting.
