inaugural address of your choosing, create a composition that
explores the “rhythmic and dimensional field in which
typographic communication exists” (Carter, Day, Meggs). In
working towards potential solutions, explore relationships
between “parts” of information (letters, words, groups of words)
and remain conscious of the relationship of those parts to the
negative space of the page and to the page itself (not as an
arbitrary format, but as an active participant in the
composition). Working from one of the four type families below,
manipulate scale, alignment, position, density, and space to
actively amplify (or subvert) meaning. As stated in your text,
you are working “to establish coherence between the viewing
experience and typographic form, between the verbal statement
and written language." Published: April 06, 2012
