Abstract

Graphic designers traditionally have limited experience with the direct relationship between meaning and form in the language they use. In this experimental project graphic design students were encouraged to gradually refine their own individua l handwritten texts from random, personal jottings into a formal graphic mode. Several students' work is illustrated and commented on.
