Originality is everywhere, but much originality is blocked if the way back to earlier discoveries is cut or overgrown. If you use this book as a guide, by all means leave the road when you wish. That is pre- cisely the use of a road: to reach individu- ally chosen points of departure. By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully,

principles that unite these distant schools of design are based on the structure and scale of the human body the eye, the hand, and the forearm in particular and on the invisible but no less real, no less demanding, no less sensuous anatomy of the human mind. I don’t like to call these principles universals, because they are largely unique to our species. Dogs and ants, for example, read and write by more chemical means. But the underlying principles of typography are, at any rate, stable enough to weather any number of human “Typography is the craft of endowing fashions and fads. human language with a durable visual Thus with an independent form, and thus with an independent existence.

Snap is experimenting with type on a page. during the stages of the snap I feel that I grew stronger with my bold creativity. while using small font against huge font, I found that more attractive in my snaps, also more atractive to my viewers. I strongly feel that snap has taught me very well in understanding how to place text on a page. With these experimentations, snap encourages me to become more creative when it comes to typography.
