Digital Exploration

After the pen sketches, I made many of them on illustrator. Some of my ideas were easier to manipulate on the computer rather than just with a pen, and vice versa. This optional step really helped me narrow down which ones I wanted to refine, which were the final 3: iterations monograms made with Onyx, Antonio, and Serifa.

Manual Iterations

These 30 marks are my first ventures into exploring ligatures and monograms for JFK. I want to convey the messages I derived from my research. NYC is bold and unlike anywhere else in the world, so this monogram should reflect that.

Welcome to New York City! 
New York is a hub of culture for the entire world. Its' international airport is the most frequently used international gateway in America, reminiscent of its Ellis Island days. NYC is a blend of cultures from all over the world. It has slums like Harlem and Brooklyn and also booming metropolises like Manhattan. This diversity culminates in one big attitude: you don't mess with New York.
