I just recently got a message from someone about my sqaure and they asked me
"Hi. I've been trying to think of this for soooo long. Ther's a name they call it when you draw something as i looks. ie: The word Fire drawn to look like fire, ice to look like ice, water, etc... Do you know what it's called? It's been driving me crazy. When I saw your drawing I thought you may know the answer. Thanks. "
I acctually do not know what the word is and I tried searching around the internet for it but I just havn't really found it yet.
If anyone knows what it is called that would be a lot of help and I would really appreciate it  |

Hey! I might know!
I had an art assignment earlier this year where I was asked to draw out a word in a font that would match its meaning (I was given the word "Broken" so I ...broke the letters.. lol).....I am pretty sure that I can find the art lesson about doing that seeing as I keep all of my old books and assignments....
It might have the name for it in the book, I don't really remember.
I will look for it if I go home for lunch, or later tonight when I get home.
-EDIT 20 October 2007-
I found the book on lettering and it referred to it as "Creative Lettering" but I don't think that is what the person was looking for.....that might give someone something to google for though, lol
I couldn't find the lesson I did for that section of the book, or the lesson planner that told me what to do....if I find it, it might have a technical term for it....
I hope so because now I realllly want to know. XD

| I tried googling creative lettering it didn't turn much new up, it did give different techniques for doing it though. |
