2nd assignment: Expressive use of text
The purpose of this assignment is to gain experience using InDesign and designing only with text.
Create a letter-size page in InDesign (8-1/2 x 11") that uses multiple text frames. Visually express the meaning of (a section of) a poem, quotation or lyrics by utilizing the design elements and principles. I suggest using fewer than four different fonts and four different colors (you can change the tint percentage of each color).
