Typeface Art Object

This assignment was a bit of a challenge and I used a 8.5 by 11 inch Adobe Illustrator document. I was expected to produce an animal/object out of the letters out of the name of the animal/object by using the font tool and either flipping or rotating the letters. I couldn't warp the text at all in this project. My final project has the letters "I" and "K" for the outline of the the shoe and the letters of the word "Nike Shoe" within the shoe filling it up with the color and the swoosh symbol. I used the Elements of Art by using color and shape. I used color by filling in the shoe with pink and blue using the letters out of "Nike Shoe" and the color yellow to create the outline of the swoosh logo and the outline of the middle part of the shoe.  I used shape by creating a half circle for the front and a little bit of the bottom of the shoe. I kind of made a rectangle for the bottom side of the shoe. I used the Principles of Design by using balance and repitition. I used balance by trying to make the letter "I'' even to give it that shoe shape look. I used repetition by using the letters "I" and "K" over again to create the outline of the shoe and the other letters in the word "Nike Shoe" to fill up the color of the shoe. My final design does look like my sketch because if you were to hold up my sketch next to my final design, you would see the accuracy. The only difference is is that I used the letter "K" at the top of my shoe instead of the letter "I"
