Step 1 : Creating and Tweaking the Text
First We need to prepare the text to work with. Open up Illustrator. Type in the letters. Choose a bold typeface. I used Futura Extra Bold Condensed.



Step 2 : Creating the Document and Bringing the Text
Before we start designing, we need to plan out the requirements



Step 3 : Line Work and Creating Pieces.
I have done a sketch of the design according to my idea. Not very detailed, it is actually a thumbnail sketch but it gave me the start I was looking for. Ideas often tend to be abstract, surreal and partly defined. Sketching is a great way to improve the perception of ideas.









Step 4 : Adding More Details and Colors
Here we have the solid color version of the design. Let's see what we can to improve it.
