Alt Text

I completed this alt text exercise by exploring both personal and AI-assisted approaches. I first wrote two original alt text descriptions without any AI tools and one more emotional. Next, I generated few alt text descriptions using AI (ChatGPT).

I wrote a short original text (around 125–250 words) exploring my perspective on craft & design. Then I developed a typographic layout featuring my bespoke drop cap, carefully balancing the letterform with the body, ensuring hierarchy, readability, line flow, and ample white space. The composition was created in InDesign, combining thoughtful content with intentional visual design.

The Art of Toasting

My text is about reflection connecting the ritual of making toast with graphic design, balance, timing, and thoughtful attention.

Design 1

Design 2

Here, I aimed to make the piece more visually engaging by adding illustrations, background color, and text color, enhancing the interaction between the drop cap and the text.
