New Plan of Attack

Recently, we revamped the Type Exploratory project to change hands every week between our designing staff members, while picking one of many nearly deceased words from a hat. Our rules are:

Rules:
- All participants must use the approved Sabon Roman font
- All participants must use the provided template for size and orientation
- Only letters included in the chosen word may be used
- No color should be used, just grayscale
- The word should be the primary focus of the piece
- Shapes and graphics may be used in supporting roles, but they should be simple and flat

Timing:
- A word and definition will be provided to that week’s designer during Monday morning scrum
- Each participant has 1 week to complete their design
- A word can be pondered as long as necessary, but only 1 hour should be dedicated to the creation of the final product
- The final design will be presented during Friday morning scrum
- The final design will be posted on the web after lunch on Friday

The first of this new regime was Sesquihoral (below) and created by Kyle Green.
