- General Specs:

- Size: 3.5” x 3.5” square
- Add a 1 pt outline (border around the square)
- Select one Sans Serif Typeface per word (with variations ok)
- Only use black and white.
- Remember that you already know about typeface selection, case (U & LC) and word spacing and must apply those concepts moving forward.
You can consider scale, repetition, overlap, removal of letters or parts of it to create a visual definition of your words. Do not add illustrations.
