This calligram is inspired by the movie Finding Nemo. I did not copy the calligram directly over a preexisting image (because I was having issues uploading an image and I did not know how to get rid of it after I were to finish the calligram), but I did use images of clownfish and blue tangs as references (posted down below). I drew the outlines of the fish with the pen tool, and then added the type on path tool to add the words "just keep swimming". I chose the text colors according to the colors of the fish.
