I decided to do all capital letters because I felt that a simple form would be more readable for the viewer. I also was intimidated by the flexibility involved with making a lowercase “e”.

I wanted all my letters to originate at a baseline and have the same cap height. Before I drew in my letters, I rested the im-ages on a baseline and adjusted the scale of my pictures to fit between a baseline and a cap line.

I really liked the idea of “melting down” my letter forms, so they look more like letters and less like the human form.

[This is my first draft of my labelled letterform in blue. I wanted to create contrast between my letterforms and the labelling. I initially labelled my black letter-forms, but I abandoned that because I felt that the forms and the labelling melded together.

[Hannah Little Shadow Typography

To ensure contrast and clarity, I decided to indicate the part of the letter form being labeled by coloring it black. I feel that this is the most clearly labeled and visually appeal-ing shadow letter form that I created. I was inspired by Kayla and Kylie’s use of color and contrast in their shadow typography projects.
