This is the Type Creature assignment from DIM I. I really like it so I want to share it with others. The work is the combination of alphabet letters: I, J, f, C, w, o (but it really looks like an "a"), v, numbers: 3 and 6, and other characters: dot, exclamation mark, parenthesis.

I think the most important step for this task is choosing the type face. It depends on which animal designers want to depict and how they want to expect the creature to be, whether it's soft, tender or hard look. Once you choose the right font face, you can easily design the creature.

About my work, I chose the chicken because it's not too complicated and it's not too simple either. Actually, it's not exactly what i was thinking. When I saw it, I just felt right, so I chose it, with no specific reasons, whether it was difficult to express or not.

And it was really interesting when I started choosing the font for my chicken. It was quite a confusion. The chicken is so tender, but lots of the fonts are so tough. Fortunately, I found Zafpino which I discovered later that it was the font made only for Macintosh. phew! Done. I felt really satisfied when the work was finished. I really love this, how about you?

I have an idea. Why don't you try to figure out where all the letters, numbers and characters I mentioned are.
