The goal of this assignment was to introduce us to woodblock type and have us further explore its form. We were to choose one weight of the woodblock font, Knockout, and alter it in two different ways. The initial letter forms were extremely conducive to alteration and I quickly knew just how I wanted them to look. The extremely straightforward curves of the letter forms lent themselves to ornamentation. I did not want to ruin the forms and so I added the rounded bumps, which in my opinion do not compromise the structure of the forms, on the tops and bottoms of the letters. Additionally, I added an outline to the text and made the upper half of the text a different color than the bottom, an extremely common style for woodblock type.
