I chose to create an image of cascatelli pasta, a pasta noodle with a beautiful curved spiral. Because the pasta has such an interesting texture, I wanted to use my interest in typography to create the letterforms out of cascatelli noodles. To create this image, I used Photoshop to edit out the background of a cascatelli noodle, created a brush in Illustrator using the image, and aligned the brush to the type and ornament. My solution uses vibrant color to highlight the texture of the pasta and give off a luminous feel.
