PROJECT 1



This piece was for my "Advanced Survey of Computer Art Applications" class (otherwise known and furthermore referred to as CMPA). The assignment was to create pretty much anything using Adobe Illustrator by manipulating text. I chose to use Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Red Shoes" to create a text illusion of red ballet shoes. I did use a stock image of white shoes in order to get the shading correct, however it does not appear at all within that image. I'd also advise not trying to read the story directly from that image, simply because the font size is something like 8 or 9 and shows up even smaller and harder to read against the red background. The background is red mainly for the purpose of enhancing the shading on the shoes and making them appear to be more than just a block of colored text.
