Typographic Quote Design

Words can be powerful, and typography can mold the meaning of words to the designer’s vision. This project explores this idea by taking inspiration from one of the most famous graphic designers ever.

Experimenting with different layouts and textures gives life to simple text. Through this process, I learned the power of iterations and the elements of design. I gained knowledge of typography while honing my skills using software.
