A comparative study of ten typefaces was
made by each student. The information
was organized chronologically in a booklet
with four pages devoted to each typeface. In

, the opening spread juxtaposes
descriptive text and a complete font opposite
a large letterform. The following spread
contains a historical application of the type
opposite a contemporary application created
by the student.
This problem involves developing
research skills, an understanding of
typographic history, and an ability to work
with different typefaces. Large amounts of
complex data are organized, a consistent
format is developed, and diversity is created
within this format.
