To make this Calligram Oscar Wilson would have drawn the image first and made sure all the words fitted and then scanned the image into illustrator where he would have edited any small mistakes and then coloured the image, He made some of the letters different shades of red to create the shapes of the bus, like the bends on the bus or where it goes in.
