TYPOGRAPHY Experiments

Create designs that LOOK like what the word MEANS.... Create one design per word.
Be sure to use "clipping mask" to crop the image to the paper edge.
Each design should fit on a "letter" size paper (8 1/2 X 11 inches).



The words are: 

Loud, Quiet, Active, Stable, Camouflage, Implied, 
and white on black.

After completing each design, list 3 characteristics that makes the design look like what it means... you can write the list off the artboard, in open space.

Consider these characteristics: size, value, color, location on the page, orientation, effects, font shape, etc.....
