My First attempt at Typography was shall i say a failed version? well i love henna, or as they call it in my language "mehndi" i thought to myself that i will write the alphabet with this, at that time, just a beginner, i knew nothing about the rules of typography.especially x-height of the letters, the stem, the ascender, the descender, i mean nothing! but yet i experimented anyway just to be creative and start my first typography attempt. I've attached a picture that explains the typography jargon i'm talking about for those of you thinking, "what are you on about?"
Sorry the quality might be a bit bad but i scanned it from a book.

The book is 'Typosphere by Pilar Cano and Marta Serrats.



and well this is my first typography attempt when i knew nothing and thought how cool am i making the alphabet, not even knowing there was a subject called "typography". 



Well i'm swamped with work so thats it for now. 
Have a good long weekend! Especially you Genna!
