Comment: Which do you feel works better in terms of dynamic use of letters and layout
I thought the big A one was super cool, with the text making the letter A and all the text and stuff on the side that kind of boxes in the A, also the one where all the letters were stacked up ontop of each other like a children’s play block, that was also a great use of the letters and layout.
