The letter that I decided to used was the letter Z, and by creating patterns and small designs without modifying the letter in any major way than just cutting it so its able to fit inside the rectangular canvas.

By using the complimentary colors in different intensities, the background must be complimentary from the letter or designs in it. Background has a bright intensity of green, while letter has a low intensity of red making it complimentary, the value of the colors are different.
