Craft: To make each letter, I used the pen tool. I divided the method into two categories based on how the letters looked. Drawing letters with hard edges first, I used the pen tool to draw each vector, making a point each time the angle in the letter changed directions. Hard-edged letters that are more symmetrical such as the letters E, M, and W were easier to make using the ruler tool, smart guides, and guidelines. I then tackled letters that involved curves. These were more challenging as I had to experiment with which direction to angle the line to make a curve in the appropriate direction with the pen tool. Fortunately, I could correct sloppy curves with the white selection tool to correct the anchor points. This tool also helped my to stylize the look of the letters, creating a jagged look. I then experimented with the pattern in the letters which I found in the color fill menu and styles. To differentiate from each letter, I adjusted the stroke to a heavier point.
