Create and Alphabet out of a shape!..Easy to do?

BRIEF: You have 3 hours to create a typface A-Z out of a shape you choose.

PROJECT IDEA: The shape we chose was a silhouette of a bird. We were to to pick an image and create a type-face. We were stuck in the beginning on how to pull this image apart, but our tutor told us not to think literally. We began playing around using different types of paper in the photocopier such as asitate so that we could overlap and multiply the images easily. Then we started to move the image on the photocopier while it was being photocopied which had many cool effects. The end result: the tutor liked the way that each letter differed from eachother and how we played with black and white contrasts. Our distorted bird images from the photocopier helped us create this. The class felt that our typeface was very sinister and it showed a lot of movement as if the letters could "take flight".
