Here is my own interpretation of the ampersand symbol. I chose to transform the original curvy nature of the symbol into a more straight-lined one. And I also added some additional turns just to complete the design. I like this design a lot because it contains this subtle beauty of simplicity and balance of lines that makes it very pleasing to the eye. The weight of the strokes took me a while to find but eventually I settled on one that is just starting to encompass the negative spaces but not quite yet. And the placement and sizing of the symbol on the page is just right. Any bigger of smaller would have marred the designed. I am quite proud of this piece of work and it can hopefully make it into a new family of fonts in the near future.
I thought eat me was a fun phrase that had a double entendre, like both literally and figuratively. And I just happened to find some plastic apples lying around my house so I just painted over one and made this cool little display. If I could redo it, I would probably have put the letters closer together because right now it is hard to fit them all into one, single frame. But the image gets the message across just fine.
