Go to WINDOW and have the following available:TYPE> Character / / PATHFINDER // ALIGN // ARTBOARDS
NOW Start working on your words (one per artboard)
Refer to handouts for different techniques.Select one Sans Serif Typeface per word (with variations ok)
Only use black and white.
Remember that you already know about typeface selection & variables, case (Upper case &Lower case) and word spacing and must apply those concepts moving forward.
You can consider scale, repetition, overlap, and removal of letters or parts of it to create a visualdefinition of your words. Do not add illustrations or additional shapes. You can only use the lettersthat belong to the word. You can extend ascenders and descenders, but cannot take the letterformsout of proportion
