Project 2: Text type, letter, word and image.
I would like you to experiment with
typographic parameters. This project is about typographic explo-
ration. Be prepared to for challenging unconventional reading and
kinetic visual experience. Use word “Type” as a visually active element. Also use one of the letters in an active way. Finally you will be using an image. Consider composition, read path, and syntactic and kinetic relations. Be creative and experimental.

Project 1: Traditional and Modern Page layout Principles
Designing with text
As you all know the pages of a book and the type under a headline are usually composed for easy reading. When much textual information introduced in a layout, one starts dealing with the overall look of the text block. The designer can control the look of the text block by specifying point size, type face, letter spacing, word spacing and other aspects of it. Text may be centred, asymmetrical, left or right aligned. Consider all those aspects of it. Design your given text according to readability rules.
Do not forget; text should be readable and legible but that does not mean it should be boring. Consider applying rules but make it inviting also.
Size: Two A4 size paper. ( A spread)
Given Date: Feb. 08
Due to: Feb. 29.
