For this assignment, I wanted to create two symbols that represent hobbies that I like and one symbol to represent the tattoo that I have.

The first symbol I made is a person in a book sitting since reading is one of my favorite hobbies. The second symbol is an abstract camera since I love photography. I didn’t want it to be obvious, so I made half of the lines wavy. For the last symbol, I have moon tattoos and have always found melting shapes to be pretty, so I wanted it to look at dropped down as possible while still having its shape.

Assignment 2: Hieroglyph Writing Exercise Details:

Combine a number of symbols to create a short story or message. symbols to use:

I wanted my story to have more than five symbols in it, so I chose 8 as the perfect number. When deciding on the message I wanted to make a chose the symbols that I found interesting and then turned them into a sentence. When it came to the background, I wanted it to look like it was on a wall in Egypt. For the border I looked up Egyptian patterns and based the border on them.

For this Assignment, I chose the gothic art theme and chose the font Cattedrale. For the words I chose Gargoyle since that is usually what I think of when I remember the gothic art and architecture era. For the picture I choose to hand draw a Gargoyle in Photoshop and then export it was a Jpeg into Illustrator. I then put them all together on the page and made a border using some of the pieces from the font.
