The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about the "voice" of different fonts, and to let you become familiar with different font families. It will also help you develop your own typographic "style."
Design a tabloid size page (11"x17") filled with 6-12 great movie quotes.
The quotes will be styled in appropriate fonts.
Make one quote the largest (remember "dominance").
You can use multiple sizes for some words within each quote for emphasis if you want.
It's easier to use multiple text boxes when using multiple sizes of type, even if it's all one quote (you can move words around more easily).
Have fun with the type -- but keep it clean and simple.
Keep it to two font families per quote (plus bold/italics).
Stick to black and white. (You can make the background black and text white if you want)
Plan accordingly -- make the type bigger than you'd think to help fill the page.
Remember to include the character name.
