Your Name in Pictures
Now that we have collected our alphabets,
you get to make a word of your choice out of them!
Assignment:
Step 1: In your sketchbook, write the word you plan to make
Your word must have at least 5 letters, no more than 10 letters
(more than 10 letters is really hard!)
Underneath your word, write 5-7 reasons why you chose it.
What makes it special to you??
*Your word must represent something important to you, think hard! You will be writing about it at the end!*
Step 2: Open PhotoPea
Step 3: Create a New doc.
Name it: LastName_Word (watever word you're choosing to make; ei. Yelenick_Shark)
Dimensions: 2 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide PER letter
Background: Transparent
Step 4: Pull in all of the letters that make up your word/name
Step 5: Organize the letters in a way that fills the space and so that the letters fit together in a sensible way. No letters are too big or too small, they all "fit" together.
Once you have formatted your doc and checked your spelling, merge the layers: Shift+Ctrl+E
