Kitchen of Meaning - 'Lexicon': The purpose of this project was to create a poster based around a designated word.  My word was Lexicon.  The requirements for the poster were to keep the poster size at 18 inches wide by 24 inches tall. The name of every student in your class (featured in the exhibit) as well as the date, time and location for the exhibit had to be displayed.  This was my first poster creating a typeface (vector) from my own handwriting.  Everything you see here on this poster is hand-drawn.
