This assignment is aimed at learning to create a typographic composition
based on the content. The importance of content over form is a very
important factor in learning typography. After learning all the finer
aspects of typesetting like letterspace, word space, allignments, para
space, indents, hyphen, widow, orphan, river, bubble etc, the students
are given a simple set of data for text composition. The hirearchy and
order of information is studied before starting the typographic
explorations. Only Univers font is used in all the compositions and
later, the point size is also restricted. The interesting observation in
this assignment is that the restrictions actually helped the students
to concentrate on the content and create compositions that do justice to
the content rather than work only towards beauty of a composition.
