Beginning with brainstorming, we were asked to compose at least 30 sketches, 15 per word, in order to visualize different concepts for representing the physical, emotional, and connotational meanings of our words. We then moved to illustrator to create 10 digital black and white compositions. I chose the words FUTURE and CROWDED for this assignment. In choosing these words, I aimed to represent the many associations that readily come to mind while playing with the balance and imbalance of the letterforms within the two specific words.
