Description:

For this swap, you'll be making a postcard and decorating the front with a typography collage. What is a typography collage? Glad you asked. Well, we should all know what a collage here on swapbot is. But typography is basically the art of arranging letters, words, and phrases in such a way to make print visibly appealing. So you'll be making a collage of words/phrases that makes sense (not just a bunch of random words glued together) and has a message, and looks pretty. The rest is up to you! You can make this collage on the front of your postcard any way that you want, and it can say anything that you want.

Remember, everyone has a different skill level, and this swap is open to all skill levels. That being said, everyone please try your best. No sloppy/thrown-together last efforts.

Please send on time and rate promptly. :)

Love this idea. I was an art major and typography was my favorite class. :)

BTW, the examples I gave are not homemade like we'll be making ours, obviously. ;) They're just some examples of typography and word art.

OK, I get it. Thanks for the examples! ♡
