Steps 1-4 | reﬁnement 2 | 11 | 21

#2, 4, 11 are my favorites #2 - Browns thin weight seemed to match the thinness of the font, ambroise, that I used in the actual icon. As well, the placement of my initials was simple and fit right underneath the serif #4 - Similar to 2, I am drawn to the simple “AN” of the initials, as well as the fit underneath and the thin weight of the font that matches the icon #11 - Using my full name with different weights was interesting to explore with - light weight and regular

#1, 3, 6 are my favorites #1 - I like how simple the “ARN” of the initials are as well as the consistency of the points of the A and N in the small font compared with the actual icon #3 - I think this works better than the first as it is below and not inside the actual icon. It is simple and I like the consistency of the points. #6 - Similar to the last page, I liked exploring the different weights. With this one it was also nice to see what it looked like with my last name small and my first and middle more prominent, however I could explore the placement with these as they are more inside the icon rather than out.

#3, 6, 9 are my favorites #3 - Similar to the last page, I like the balance of solely my ﬁrst and last name. I think I could space it more so that it ﬁts to the ends of the icon as well I could increase the stroke weight to have some contrast. In addition, I like how it is not inside the icon. #6 - I like this one because of the consistency between my font and the actual icon. #9 - I like this one because of the clear consistency with the stroke weight of my full name and the icon. I also like my icon scaled down compared to my name as well as how the end of my icon almost opens up to my name.
