Creative Muscle - Typography 1
Typography can be really FUN in storybooks.
The easiest way to understand Typography is that it uses words inside the illustration versus as a layer over one.
Here is one kind of typography... this storybook creator used the words to show the shape of the object it was talking about. (image #1 - giraffe, image #2 - skyscraper)
Now you try it.
