this in-class assignment proved to be a lot more challenging than it initially seemed. I chose the letter ‘B’ in a bid to illustrate the concept of a ball. I started by illustrating uppercase letter B by drawing what is supposed to be two basketballs showing where the space/ holes in the letter would be. Next, I again drew an uppercase letter B but with the basketballs now covering where the stroke of the actual letter would cover. I then decided to move on to incorporating two different sets of balls (basketballs and a football) to still illustrate an uppercase letter B. Removing one of the basketballs from the illustration described in the previous sentence gave me what seemed like a lowercase b, something I noticed while trying to re-draw the previous illustration in a bid to make it neater. The rest of the designs were centered around re-drawing some of the previous design ideas in order to investigate whether the illustrations might better represent the concept/ letter with some tweaking. It will be interesting to see what others came up with here.
