Background / Considerations Rugby League is a popular alternative to Rugby Union, especially in Northern England where 7 of the 14 teams come from Yorkshire alone.

Brief/Session/Document Title Emotion & Type Brief Explore emotion in Typography by choosing at least 10 contrasting emotions from the list of 70, i.e. NOT anger and outrage – too similar. Create a set of typographic posters, that are suited for type exhibitions, and explore these emotions, using famous quotes to reflect on each one. They can be fictional, i.e, film or tv or from real people. Use the designs to explore printing processes, colours and stock to bring out the selected emotion in printed form.
