Bembo's Zoo Project (Working with typography)

Here's the plan:

Take a look at the "Bembo's Zoo" site to get some ideas of how you might build with letter forms.. @ http://www.bemboszoo.com/

Then,

Create your own image of a creature, using only the letters in the NAME of the creature. Consider these requirements:
1. Keep the font readable- even though you may distort it...
2. Choose a font that works with the personality of the object you are creating.
3. Try using the tools and skills we have learned so far in creating this image... How far can you "push" the idea?

Post your design, and explain at least two things you did to make the letters look like the object. (What font you chose, how you distorted it, values, sizes, or others...)
