How does a font speak to you?

Assignment: Choose a font and illustrate how is speaks and feels. For instance Zapfino make be ballet dancers gracefully twirling across the page, whereby Impact is a bolder cracking the very floor upon which it sits. Do Not Illustrate the name of the font, illustrate its voice and its feeling.  Fonts are the voice with which our work speaks. This project is designed to help you explore the voice with which you speak.

Project Brief: I chose to illustrate a font called Monkey Wishes that I found on dafont.com. As soon as I saw the font, I thought of a child's writing. I used my 5 year old son practicing his writing to help illustrate my font. I used the clone stamp tool to erase his actual writing on the paper and replaced it with the font.
