Just like everyone did during the first day of class, I tried to work something out simply by using the software. However, it turns out pretty bad. After that, I know a good design always starts from a piece of paper and a pen and a good hand. I tried many types, some of them are simple, some are strange, and the longer the word is, the more difficulties will have. So I chose “Quiet” at the end, as the most short word on the list. I think I used the regular Helvetica, because I want it be as simple as possible.

What I learned from this project is that don’t try to play too hard on those words, it will make the design looks even worse than the original one. And typography is quite unlike fine arts, simple and clear will be the best.
