Handwriting can be considered as a form of expressive drawing. After all, it consists primarily of the most fundamental element of design, line. Our signatures are shaped by our cultural influences in our lives, just like any work created by any artist.After learning about the character and style possibilities of line, and a little bit about handwriting analysis, we created self-portraits using only signatures. This one is Ryan's. I added a little color in PhotoShop, hope he doesn't mind. Everyone did a great job and I'll try to post a variety of people's work- not just his, but I did think the his hair made his stand out.
