• Playing with the opposite of difficult, taking easy shapes to make letter forms.
• Manipulating easy shapes (squares, triangles, circles) to make more distinguishable shapes.
• Thoughts of making anatomy difficult to read.
• Taking elements/shapes from fonts (futura) to make letter forms.

- Are they legible?

- Do the adhere to basic anatomy of type/original font?

- Do they look like the original shape?

Thoughts on Project:

• Outcomes look to simple, ideas not pushed far enough.
• Found using the word to manipulate font harder than expected, needed to be more radical with changes to then home back in to create glyphs.
