I used the whole roll of foil and wanted to throw the whole thing away at least three times. I started off by making a long strip and folding it to be very thin and flat. After I did this, I ripped it and wanted to not finish the project. I walked away for a few days to be able to come back with a new vision and renewed patience. I started off by thinking of what kind of font would be “unique” to me. I went with my initials that I use in my signature (easy enough for me, I have all M’s). I took a piece of paper and drew out my M and began to crush the foil and place it onto the paper shape. I wanted to make it all one shape, but running out of material made the decision to keep them separate easy. I decided to keep the letter bold because it stands for all three of my initials. In breaking down the color, I started off the tail with animal print. I thought this was comical but also showed the movement of this first segment of the letter. From there, the colors flow into a lighter blue with a sky gradient. The layout gives the eye a direction up the leg and into the middle element. At the top of the middle, there are different colors, but they are lighter on the left side, following the sky feel, and darker on the right, hinting at the rigidity that will soon follow. The last leg has different pattern alluding to the different pattern of the letters that will follow (for example, iranda, ichelle, or ayer).
