Aside from type used for alphabet, limited use of additional text is allowed. Keep in mind, you are not creating a typeface, but rather finding ways to use image and type effectively as a means for telling a rich story.

Timeline + Deadlines:
Conceptual Brainstorming: Brainstorm 5 journey thematic concepts in sketchbook due Monday, Nov 11 8:30am.
