Text Compilation #2: "Y" in Lithos Pro

For the compilation I just started with the first letter, and then blew it up on the screen. I decided the character had a tree-like quality--and so the project began! It was very interesting to make since I needed so many y's; just the branches alone consisted of around 12 layers in Photoshop. For the leaves, to avoid a layers and transform tool nightmare, I actually just made a brush out of the "y" and played with the settings. It was a fun experiment with Photoshop.
