I showed the meaning of each word by essentially giving its definition through the representation. For example, for hole, I made the O a hole and filled that in with the word, consistently using the O as a hole to be filled.
The process wasn't too long once I got to the computer and actually designing each word, but the at home and in class planning prior to using illustrator was long. It took me a while to come up with enough ideas, and ideas that that I actually liked. After everything was planned out, the computer stage was very quick and took me about one class.
The favorite part of my words is that they are all completely my own ideas and I think it's pretty cool that I got to make these myself.
The difficult part of the process was deciding on my final words. I had plenty of ideas but choosing these final three over the rest was difficult. Making each word didn't take me too long, but I think finding the right font was the hardest part.
Next time, to get a better result out of this project, I would take more time on the computer, trying different fonts and font sizes, in order to see all different looks.
