ABC isn't as easy as 123

I really want to show you one of my favorite pieces of work from the typography class I took last semester.

We had pick 8 sets of two letters to combine them. 4 sets were letters that were similar to each other (Like C and E) and 4 sets were letters that were dissimilar (Like P and Z). The idea behind this is that you're left with very unique shapes. These are how mine turned out:

As you can see, I combined K&E, B&K, S&h, and v&R

Here I combined C&0, q&p, w&m, and v&X

When I first got assigned this topic, I didn't think it would be that difficult. Once I started to put the letters together I realized that there were so many combinations that I could use! I didn't want the letters to be strait up and down so I turned a lot of them on their side or upside down. I decided to make it look abstract so that you almost couldn't tell what letters I used.

Once I made each square separately I had to decide how I should put them together. I wanted each board to look like it was once piece of art, not four pieces put together. It took a lot of turning but I finally got all the pieces together.

These two boards were made to sit side by side. So if you saw them hanging up they look like this:

There should have been a little bit of space between the boards

I think this is one of my favorite pieces because it takes something simple and makes it very artistic. At first glance they don't look like letters, and sometimes you can't see the letters at all. I think it is also something that is unique because even though everyone in the class made these, none of them looked the same.

So what do you think? Should I had done something differently? Would you have chosen to combine the images the way I did?
