Reflections

Leading up to this project, students developed an in-depth understanding of type as form through in-class exercises and homework assignments. I believe that these assignments helped to develop their eye for form, by allowing them to experiment and learn before the project. This project allowed them to refine and apply what they had learned. I believe that without these pre-assignments, the results may not have been as successful.
