Poster design we found in steps using good Kerrning skills

The next step is the hardest or maybe I should say it takes a lot of time to get this to look just right. You will have to write a lot of words and move each word into each letter of the “ALPHABET” word. You are free to position and transform the words as you wish. Also, the font used here is called American Typewriter and I moved all the words into a folder called “ALPHABET.”

As you can see, I have colored some of the letters with red. I did this to highlight the quote I told you about. Also, to give a greater impact to the effect, if you look in the lower side of the letters, they seem to be falling down. This adds more movement to the composition.
