When I first started, I tossed around the idea of having my letters all resemble weapons. After some consideration, I chose not to do this. I ended up researching action/sci-fi movie posters for inspiration, and in the end my main inspirations came from a typeface called “Chinese Rocks” and the “Black Panther” movie font. In addition to making my type look like a tech/future font, I wanted to give my type some dimension. I did this by including black shadows behind each of the letters which I was really pleased with in the end.

For the march alphabet I created the Vietnamese ABC's to show to my little cousin. Each letter is designated to an idea or aspect of Vietnamese culture/dynamics and I wanted to share some of the fun, serious, goofy, unique parts of what it means to be Vietnamese as well as what it means to be part of my family. I learned quite a bit from my family members and I really enjoyed the time I spent making it. I hope that someday I can revisit or even publish this idea!

my goal for this alphabet was to make something i thought just simply looked cool. Despite not having actually finished all the letters I actually like how they turned out. I wanted my posters to reflect the typeface in a way that might be demonstrative of the ways you could use it. The contemporary minimal design is something i liked the outcome of.

For my design march I created a total of 6 hand-drawn alphabets. Each alphabet was inspired by a different adjective. In retrospect, I wish I had stuck to creating just one letter a day. I've translated a few of the alphabets into Illustrator, and I am glad that now I have them on hand to potentially incorporate into future projects.

My alphabet march was inspired by the deaf community and their use of ASL. I wanted to showcase the use of language and letters through hands since that is how a majority of them communicate. Deaf Awareness is not something that is often promoted or shown in public. There is also a lot of misinformation about Deaf people and society as a whole, which is why it's important that we help make their message (or signs) heard (seen).

This project was inspired by Takenobu Igarashi. I love the idea that there is a difference between seeing and reading and playing with form just enough to jump between the two. I wanted to create an alphabet comprising multiple shapes for each letter that builds a three dimensional shape. These letters are constructed of pieces just as our language is constructed by letters, so to me, this form made sense. I allowed variation in building each. Some are empty vessels and others are formed by many filled shapes. It’s in either this absence or presence that a letter is formed.

For my alphabet march, I chose an adjective with each letter to try and express in a alphabet logo. I really actually enjoyed doing this project and testing my abilities. Obviously, I did not quite finish, but I believe I will finish it this summer in my past time just to see what the finished product can look like

This project was very interesting for me in a variety of ways. I really dislike distorting letters because since I have dyslexia, it's hard enough with letters legible to begin with. So it was interesting to be able to make my own letters in different patterns but still ensure that I could read them. It was also fun to see what words or ideas I associated with letters. Overall I learned that even though letters can be tough, I can still use them to express myself. I look forward to what I can make with these letters in the future.

My letter design is based on the deformation of objects in my daily life. I want to record my life in this way and use the objects in my life to inspire me. Just like "A", it is a combination of my book and my iPad. They support each other and become A. My "Alphabet March Padlet" was a magical elevator that I found after traveling to Chicago. I was full of curiosity about it, so I was imagining what would be behind this door. I made it like a poker and let it It looks ordinary but very curious. These fragments connect them, like a fantasy dream in my head.
