Word Graphic

Artist Statement

We started this project by writing down words and then everyone got to choose one. I got the word cupcake which is a pretty common word to see in graphic designs because of bakery's and stuff. The goal of the word project was to incorporate the object in a creative way and we were encouraged to not use too much color. I love lots of colors so it was hard to settle with just using black. This project was pretty challenging for me because I couldn't come up with an idea I really liked and it ended up being pretty generic. I replaced the U in Cupcake with a little cupcake and I used a thin black marker to trace it. I wanted to make it look cutesy so I made the letters curved and bubbly. I think if I did this project again I would try to push myself more and come up with a more original design that incorporated that cupcake creatively. I think I might've also liked to add a couple colors, but not too many, to make it pop more. I think word designs is something I want to practice more, like I could do it on my own time and do different words. I think some really cool designs could come out of it and it would be fun to see how you can be creative around a word.
