Description
The goal of this typography exercise was to obscure the first and last characters of our middle name while still retaining the character’s basic character identification, meaning that the letter it couldn’t be confused with another letter. The tools we had at hand were negative and positive space, cropping, enlargement, rotation, blending off the picture plane and the position on the black matte board that we mounted it on.
