Some of the projects:
Typographically enhance the meaning of a word. Sometimes an unexpected effect can be achieved when the typographic solution contradicts the meaning of the word, setting “big” with small type, for example. You may repeat, omit, slice, or overlap words or letters, keeping the letter form as recognizable as possible. Do not use drop shadows or horizontal/vertical scaling (distortion). Use only the typeface Futura Bold.
