Homework #6 – Typography Graphic

Assignment:
Choose one typeface and one piece of text {haiku, part of a poem, lyrics, quote from a person, quote from a newspaper article or your own poem…} that will set the tone and theme for this graphic.

Use one background graphic, or create a composited image that supports and works with your text. Prepare your background using image editing skills we have previously covered. You may use original photographs, stock photography, a web graphic (provide a credit if you do).

You may include a title for your text and who wrote it, or give credit in the email when you submit it.
