GD2: Create your own font

The challenge:
Create a truly unique font for all 26 letters - numbers and extra characters optional.

Suggestions:

* Mull this over for a while. Going to the cafeteria? What could you use there? The art room? Outside? Your house?
* Draw, find, cut, collage...

You'll need:

* An extensive list and/or sketches of as many text possibilities as you can imagine.
* Include all 26 letters A-Z at least somewhat legible.
* Combine all text onto 1 document at least 20 x 30". No visible pixels!

Extra common sense:

* Nothing wet/sticky/messy near computers! Use digital cameras if scanners don't make sense!
* No all-computer creations - characters are to be made/photographed in the flesh by you! (Software can be used to "clean up", stretch, twist, and otherwise manipulate original source material.)

Contemporary Connection:
