TYPOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT

The text is the key. Think: “Keep Calm and Carry On” Use a slogan, etc. Find some prints on Etsy as examples. The type must be

the key, but you can use one small, simple logo. ADVICE & ADAGES & QUOTES, TYPOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENTThe assignment is simple (or is it?). Take a popular bit of advice, a saying,

or a a slogan, and use what you’ve learned about typography to make it look cool, interesting, and effective. Arrange your words and letters in an interesting way to make a visually pleasing, simple but effective composition. Emphasize the most important letters and words. Use colors creatively and for emphasis. Use your font creatively and appropriately.

You will not use actual pictures. Your background should be fairly simple—

remember that the text is the most important part of the composition. The background might possibly be just textures or a simple logo. This composition is “minimalist.”
