"E" Graffiti Block Font (2016)

"E" GRAFFITI BLOCK FONT (2016)

Genre: Graphic Design Typography
Medium: Gouache Paint
Year: 2016 (November)

The project's aim was to be well acquainted with colour harmonies by incorporating the principles into simple graphic designs formed from two letters of my name (E-M-E-M). Pictured above is the monochromatic colour harmony as all tints, tones, and shades of blue were rendered in gouache paint. I use my initial "E" as the foreground with curved, angular shapes in the background.
