Brief 2 - Alphabet soup/ Illustrator: Problems

One of the main problems encountered with Brief 2 was lining it up, even though it was initially created in a grid there was still struggle to make them look neat without being too small. As you can see on the right with the grid the alphabet looks wavy, there doesn't appear to be any order to it and some letters look larger than others. The P and the G stand out although their counters and bowls are the same size as the other letters, because they are raised to fit in the grid they look overly large. 

All the letters will have to be made smaller because in the end it will look better all in line and neat but smaller rather than larger and messier. 

Other problems encountered are things such as the curvature on some of the bowls. Its been a struggle to get the right angle and same line widths through out. For example the thicker part on the B is very different to the Q. This is something that will be fixed.

The next step is to line up all the letters and adjust the line weight so they are uniform.
