final figure/ground letterform

Compose positive and negative

  1.  

1. Once completed, create a negative version.

A negative version is exactly the same except that it uses the opposite color.

        • What was black will be white, what was white will be black.
        • The positive and negative versions MUST be exactly alike except it reverses color
        • One way to do this is to “invert” your letterform in photoshop
          • Select object  >  Image > Invert
