Brief 1: Shaping an Object using Typography

In this exercise we had to choose an object and shape it using words; typography.
At first, I chose the Apple logo, but since we had to choose an object, I changed my choice from the Apple logo to an apple. In addition to being a tasty and juicy fruit, an apple is a popular fruit in religions, myths, fairytales and so on. I started by looking for a nice apple picture and outlining it using the pen tool in Illustrator. Since I wanted it to look 3D or somethings close to 3D, I drew curved lines inside the apple and used the Type on a path tool to insert the text on the outline around the apple and the curved lines. I added text that I found on Wikepedia about apples in religions and myths. At the end, I added the apple wick on top and inserted the word "Apple".
