Project Description, 36 Days of Type

Process Notes. 9 through A are three screenshots from my Instagram account. Thought about creating a new account for this. Couldn’t think of a clever name that wasn’t taken. Decided to go ahead and use the blog account since I wasn’t doing anything with it anyway.
The Z image came to me first. The rest of the alphabet was drawn in compliment. Initially, when I start a file in Inkscape, my color choice is arbitrary. Have I said this before? I just pick something from the color wheel. By the time I’m done working with the letters, I can’t imagine them any other way. Shape, planned; color, not so much.
