Choose 6 words from the English dictionary, avoiding articles, prepositions, pronouns and proper names of places, people, etc. Create 6 panels, each 6" square, each of them using the arrangement of a word to show reinforcement of or twisting of its meaning. Keep in mind that your solutions should feel typographic rather than illustrational; the letters should not be altered to the point that they become drawings or representations of the word, nor should they be arranged to “draw” figures.
