Typography/Themed Illustrations

On our Thursday session with John he gave us a task to make our own alphabet. At first I was a bit discouraged by this task but the more I thought about it the more I decided to indulge myself into this task. So I decided to make a tribute and make an alphabet with stylized illustrations of my favorite horror movie characters that in a way can be considered to be classics.

This task ended up being really fun to do, not only because I got to do a lot of problem solving and thinking how to shape a character into a letter and keep them both still recognizable but also the fact that I got to share, insert and to re-experience some of my favorite movies made doing this very enjoyable. 

Bellow I posted the alphabet and an explanation to which letter is what character (even though I would slightly prefer leaving it a mystery since the monsters I decided to portray are more or less universally recognizable.).

A - The Wolfman. B - Phantom of the Opera. C - Christine the Killer Car. D - Count Dracula. E - The Mummy. F - Ellen Ripley from Alien (1979) G - Frankenstein's Monster

H - Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. I - The Invisible Man. J - The Graboid from the Tremors serries (1990 - 2004). K - Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. L - Carrie from Carrie (1976). M - The Twins from The Shinning (1980). N - Freddy Krueger.

O - HAL 9000 from 2001: A space Odyssey (1968). P - Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors (1986). Q - The three witch sisters: Winifred, Sarah and Mary from Hocus Pocus (1993). R - Doctor Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). S - The Bride of Frankenstein. T - Doctor Carl Hill from Re-animator (1985). U - The Creature from the Black Lagoon. 

V - The thing from John Carpenters The Thing (1982). W - Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp from Death Becomes Her (1992). X - Mulder and Scully from The X files (1993 - 2002). Y - The Fly from The Fly (1986). Z - Elvira the Mistress of the Dark (1988).
