In this assignment, we had to choose a poem or quote and give interpretive visual expression using
only type. I came upon a few quotes and poems, but the one that intrigued me the most was this "If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets". First of all because it's one of my wishes that a wish is caught rather than waiting for it to come true... I don't like waiting :) Second of all, as soon as I read the quote, an image came to my mind of wishes swimming around and lots of nets trying to catch them.
Using Illustrator, I started by drawing a fish, then putting the word wishes into it, then making them in different sizes, as in big wishes and smal wishes. For the nets, I used the type on a path tool and the quote's words to draw them, then copied and scaled a few (top right) to make them seem far.
