Illustrator -alphabet soup

We started this brief with an induction to adobe illustrator, 6 sessions teaching us the basic knowledge on how to use illustrator. In the first session we completed a series of tasks showing us how to use the pen tool.
Then for the next sessions we put our skills with the pen tool to practise by vectorising one of our letter forms.
This is the letter which i vectorised. We then filled the letter in a block colour and then a colour of our choice.

We then learn how to fill using swatches, how to create our own swatches and fill with them.
Here are some experiments using swatches.

I then started to create my 26 letter-forms, i experimented creating some variations with several letters before settling on the letter G. Here are my experiments.

Here are my final 26 letter forms.
Some extra letter-form experiments that didn't get included within the final 26.
