Design Rationale

The Letter Art device is one I have been developing since 2102. Each dog portrait is made from letters, and only those letters that spell each dog’s name.

The letters are selected from fonts available in a standard Mac font library, and no letters are hand-drawn or purpose-made.

The challenge is to achieve a good likeness of the breed using just the letters that spell its name, but importantly, to imbue it with a charm, character and personality that would meet the expectations of the humans that know and love each breed, and recognise its unique traits.
