The most difficult part of this process was cleaning up the edges of the piece. I didn't want to print the piece and have roughly drawn, edges. I tried cleaning it up in photoshop but that turned out to be too difficult, so I opened the piece in illustrator and traced it with paths to get smooth edges. This part took nearly a full day, but the results were worth it.
What did you find successful about your piece?
What I found the most successful is how smooth the edges turned out after I traced them in illustrator. I like that it maintained some of its hand-drawn imperfections, and style, but it looks smooth and clean.
Explain your piece? What was you inspiration and how
The inspiration for this piece came from my friends at lunch. I mentioned that I wasn't sure what to make for this project, and we decided that it should be something to do with everybody's name. I decided to make a piece which incorporated the first letter of each person's name into a design. I went through a few combinations but settled on this one in the end because it used the straight sides of the letters to contain the whole piece in a square.
