- So how did your use of shape recognition turn out?…Did you manage to use it…in your hand lettering more than once?…Did you enjoy this challenge?…Let me share with you how I use shape recognition…through hand lettering on my design.…Previously in this course I walked you through…two simple ways you can use shape recognition,…and that is either replacing letter forms with objects…that kind of read as the letter themselves.…
We showed you a design called holy cow,…where the o in the word cow…was replaced with the cow's head.…But then we also showed you…another type of shape recognition,…and that's using the letter forms themselves…to form and shape an image.…That is the type of shape recognition I chose to use…in this challenge, what I approached this challenge with.…I decided to do a portrait using typography…to form and shape the subject matter.…My subject matter and inspiration for this design,…which is a poster design,…is Nikola Tesla, the famous scientist,…who created AC current…and all kinds of other incredible things…
