Custom Graphic Name

   I started off with the font News Gothic MT. I then typed out my first name then shift clicked under it so that I could type my last name on a as a different path than my first name. I then selected the text and made them into objects so that I could individually edit them how I wanted.
   I moved the letters so that they were a little closer than they were before. Then I started with the A. I changed the legs so that the left one was longer and had a slant at the end to line up with the H. I did this by using the direct select tool.
   I then did the dot of the I. I made it into a leaf kind of shape, again using the direct select tool. Then since the right leg of the A didn't match anymore I went back and made that leg shorter and with a slanted edge. Then I was done.
