The way letters are placed can change a design from boring to fun.
Not all design projects need photos to become art. Many stories can be told through typography-based design. Explore different font, or typeface, families until you find the best one for your project. Cursive fonts project a romantic feel, while Gothic fonts project a sober feel. Choose your fonts and the letters or words you want to base your design around and get to work on your project.
Instructions
1. Launch a word-processing program and type the letters you want to use in your design project. Highlight them and change the fonts until you find one you find acceptable. Create the letters in different sizes across your page. Use new pages if you want extra-large letters or space them out across your page so you can cut them out. Print your letters.
2. Cut the letters from your printed sheets of paper with the scissors. Cut as close to the letter as possible to ensure no jagged white outlines around their edges -- unless that's a look you're going for. Don't forget to cut out the spaces inside letters such as "a," "g" and "p."
3. Place the letters around your poster board until you are happy with the design. Experiment by starting your project with a large capital letter as the focus point, surrounded by smaller letters. Overlap some of the letters to give the project a more three-dimensional feel. If you're creating words or phrases, arrange them in a sort of word cloud, with the most-used word being the largest, and the least-used being the smallest.
4. Take a photo of your project with the camera when you have it set. Remove the letters, turn them over and apply glue to their backs with the glue stick. Refer to the photo to place the letters permanently on the poster board.
