Feather
Kanji
An illustration suite based around Angel Wings and Japanese Kanji.
Also an expansion on my Decorative Feather Font project.
Angular used in Feather, Longevity, Independence, Liberty (outlined in purple) (*some slightly stretched out of proportion)
Sweep used in Longevity, Independence, Liberty (outlined in turquoise)
Sleek used in Grace(full), Longevity (also outlined in turquoise) (*slightly more J-like; default is more S-like)
Default used in all kanji (*ones outlined in grey are stretched out of proportion), used fully in Happiness & Freedom
*Semi-Circle & Round used in Grace(ful) only (also outlined in purple) • *Extreme-Curve used in Wing only (also outlined in purple)
For decorative purposes, themed around Angel Wings/Feathers & Japanese Kanji, to which all can be applied in more decorative-focused contexts (stickers, badges, prints etc.). Being driven by my own personal aesthetics, I have a great interest in the appearance & symbolism behind angel wings,
and furthermore, I am also greatly interested in Japanese culture and their language. Both being mesmerising and fascinating in appearance, this is a good design opportunity for me to explore how they can be depicted, as well as how they can influence one another artistically.
