I&#8217;m really happy that J doesn&#8217;t come up a lot in <em>Scattergories<\/em> because I suck at coming up with words that start with J. Know what else I suck at? Remembering what the last letter I did for my alphabet of drop caps. I could have sworn I made an I but I never did. Oh well, I still designed a letter J for today.<\/p>\n<p>I came up with the initial shape of the J quite quickly but had a hard time designing the colors and patterns. I was thinking of military chevrons because my step dad was watching a Navy movie at the time. Then I was thinking of octopus lines and deer skin. For some reason I think of hunting when I think of the letter J. I almost made the tail out of antlers. Hehe.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I ended up trying to make it more like night life and more trendy design. That&#8217;s why I went with the cyans and magentas. The gum balls were meant to be lights but they didn&#8217;t turn out all that well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-216\" title=\"J Dropcap\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_j.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_j.gif 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_j-300x206.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thoughtlessly forgetting the letter I, I designed the letter J today.
