some typography



this is my typography assignment from earlier today. we're working with a four letter word given out in class and a 10 by 10 dot system. (which proves particularly difficult with angles/curves.) the critique was pretty fun. we got to talk about things like kerning and lowering crossbars. and weigh the pros and cons of changing a single dot. a far cry from the critiques of foundation year. (during which, according to bernard, we all "held hands and sang kumbaya.")

the next step is to test the strength of our letter face and give it a bit of a beating, using the type as the basis for an image.
