Letter A

In this project, as part of our calligraphy unit, we created an original letter.

I started by drawing my letter. I chose to base it off of nature, and to do this I gathered  a few objects from outside and arranged them in the position I wanted. 

When I was satisfied with my plan, I traced it with marker and transferred it to Photoshop through the scanner. Once in Photoshop, I used the paint tool to imitate the colors that I had originally imagined. The hardest part of  project was using the Photoshop for the first time. There were a few challenges I faced, such as figuring out how to use the gradient tool in the backround without covering my letter.
