Designing expressive words

abc patterns
These patterns were created using various letters from the alphabet that I placed on to my page and duplicated after which I then formed the duplicates into these interesting patterns
missing 5 designs
These designs have been created to express the word missing. I have chosen to re-create the first design in the top left-hand corner as i feel that this design is the most effective as even though the letters i and s in this design are almost not visible the word is still readable.
swing 5 designs
Here are my five different designs that I had created to express the word swing. I have chosen to re-create the design in which I have circled as I believe that this design is very creative and explains the meaning of the word swing well due to the way I have designed the letter w in this word to appear to be hanging from the letter s as a swing hangs from its frame.

 

tank designs 5
Here are my five designs of the word tank that will become one of my final expressive words. I have chosen the last design in the top right-hand corner of this page as I feel this design best reflects the shape of a tank while not affecting the shape of the typeface to drastically.
window designs
These design all express the word window. from these five designs, I have chosen to re-create the top middle design as I believe that this drawing best explains the form and function of the window as I have drawn the individual letters to form a square that frames the o in this word.

chimeney designs

These five designs all express the meaning of the word chimney, I have chosen to re-create the design that can be seen taking place in the top right -hand corner as I feel this design reflects the shape and settings that a chimney possesses showing the tall form and I have designed the c in this image to look as tho it is a moon while the other texts acts as rooftop like images.

5 letter

These five words are my final designs. I believe these final outcomes to be very successful and professional looking.  These images were made using the text tool, the  Direct tool and the curvature tool.

 

chimney
I believe that this design is successful as I feel that I have well explained the meaning of the word chimney doing so buy designing the h of this word in this elongated and bold way, best resembling the shape of a chimney. while also positioning the c of this word at the top right side of the h  causing it to resemble the shape and positioning of a moon.As the other letters in my design have been placed very closely together  resemble the positioning and size of a roof of a building
missig
In this design, I have presented my audience with an image of the word missing of which possesses two very light letters that are the letter i and s  of which I have designed in this way as to best express the meaning of the word missing as these letters are so subtle they are almost not visible.
tank
I feel that this expressive design is successful as I believe that my design well explains the meaning of the word tank through my overextension of the top extending section of the letter k that I have done in order to resemble the very long tube-like gun that belongs to a tank. while also extending the top right extension of the letter t in hopes that this would act as an outline of the top of a tank
window
I feel that this design is very effective and explains my chosen word well as I have created the shape of a window through the positioning of my individual letters that also frame the letter o. I have done this in order to resemble the square shape of a window.
swing
In this design, I have presented my viewer with the word swing designed having the w of this word extending from out of the letter s in order to resemble the way a swing hangs. a style choice I have also re-created in the positionings and form of the letter g of which I have placed hanging from the letter n.

 

tank hand drawn lighter
This is an image of a re-creation of one of my decorative designs that express the word tank. I have created this image using the measuring tool on illustrator that I used to map out the correct positioning allowing me to draw this expressive type to scale.
swing hand drawn lighter
This is another recreation of one of my expressive texts of which I created using the method I had earlier put in to practice while creating the word tank.
