I found this design assignment to be rather cool.  I chose the design assignment called Word, worth 2 stars.  The object of the design assignment was to just use font and the word it self to express the meaning of the word.  I chose to use the word disassociate, which comes up a lot in my classes.  Disassociate, in simplistic terms, means to break apart.  To display the word through typography, I opened up gimp and I used multiple text boxes.  I first placed the first three letters into a text box and then throughout the image I placed 1 or 2 letters of the rest of the word all around.  By dispersing the letters of the word into different regions of the image it helped to show the meaning of the word disassociate, to break apart.

Once the image was saved and uploaded onto flickr I placed the tags: DesignAssignments422, DesignAssignments, ds106, and disassociate, onto the image to help organize where it will be displayed on the internet.
