These two exercises examined how type can be manipulated to convey a certain feeling, idea, or even sound.  The idea for Type Is Space  was to portray the meaning and essence of the word by altering the type.  I did so by creating an interruption in the word interruption, arranging the letters in the word space  at different alignments and scalings, and so forth.  For Type Is Sound  we had to choose an onamonapia and display the sound of that word using type.  I experimented with elements of repetition and scale for my word Splash and tried to make the type look as though it was being scattered by a splash made in a body of water.
