NYX - greek alphabet

I found this text on dafont.com under greek lettering. I actually chose this specific text because the Y in the name looks very similar to a wine glass which obviously links very well with my subject.

Because I got the font from a website and had to screenshot the text I couldn't size is and play around with the text to how I would want it. So, I ended up drawing over the text so I could have it how I wanted. Here is just a screenshot after I drew over the outline of it, just simply by using the pen tool.

Here is my final outcome, it was very straight forward as I was drawing over something so it looks almost perfect to the original text but it enabled me to change the colour of the letters and be able to move and resize the text to how I would prefer it.

I searched for Greek letters and found that the text was actually accurate in that the Y wasn't just put like that because it look Greek but it actually was.

The letter Y in the Greek alphabet is known as Psi (uppercase Ψ, lowercase ψ) it is the 23rd letter of the Greek alphabet and has a numeric value of 700. In both classical and modern Greek, the letter indicates the combination /ps/ (as in English word "lapse").
One Definition of lapse in English is:

1A brief or temporary failure of concentration, memory, or judgement:a lapse of concentration in the second set cost her the match

 

If you have a lapse of judgement I think that often can be related to when someone is temporarily impaired due to alcohol. Which clearly links very well to my subject.

So, I used the Greek letter text and placed it in front of the very simple moon idea. The moon's I used in the background are also linked to NYX which you can read in my other blog post.
