TYPOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT• The assignment is simple (or is it?). Take a popular bit of advice,
a saying, or a slogan, and use what you’ve learned about typography to make it look cool, interesting, and well-designed.
• Emphasize the most important letters and words. Use colors creatively, sparingly, and for emphasis. Use your fonts creatively and appropriately.
