Calligram Project


For the calligram project I decided to use an elephant because they are my favorite animal in the world. I admire how an elephant is such a large creature, who at first glance can seem intimidating, but these animals symbolize strength and kindness. To start this project, I first had to find the line art drawing of an elephant that I wanted to use, something not too simple or too complex. Then, I had to outline the entire line art in Illustrator. The last thing was finding a poem that reflects an elephant and replacing all the lines of text with the line from the poem. The most challenging part for me about the calligram project was outlining the line art in the beginning. Using the pen tool to draw the lines and curves just right can be very challenging. Also this was my first time using Adobe Illustrator but I’ve used Photoshop and they seem very similar with the tools they have.
