A Design A Day

Key aspects of design:

• My dad’s favorite color is deep purple. Deep purple didn’t look good as a background color, so instead I made the background a light purple gradient.
• My dad’s favorite shape is the Mobius strip, so I added a mobius strip to the background too.
• My dad likes martinis, so I named the custom font I created in Illustrator “Martini” as per my mom’s suggestion.

I made this Mobius strip in Illustrator by outlining a picture of a Mobius strip with the Pen Tool, and then creating blends between the lines.

This is the original type I created using the Pen Tool and blending in Illustrator. After I put the letters together, I noticed that they formed a “T,” so I was thinking of using the group of letters to be the “T” in “Love, Tyler.” In the end, I thought that the other font I made was cleaner and nicer.

A monster face I made in Illustrator with the Pen Tool and blending. Never ended up using it. Maybe in the future.
