Ya Dig - Makena Roberts

Source and Object Description:These are the T shirts we made for our volleyball team called "Ya Dig". We tried to make the YA look like the handle to a shovel while the word DIG was in the bottom part of the shovel and the rest is made to look like sand/dirt.
Typeface Description: The font is sans serif and all caps. Its supposed to look like a stencil cut out. 
How does it enhance the message? The typeface works in all caps. It is a team shirt so its easily seen from far away and the DIG stands out and is the first thing youll notice. 
How will this influence my work? It shows you how fun it is to play with letter forms to create objects if need be. Also playing around with negative and positive space.
