Asymmetrical Typographic Design

This is a 4 Stage Quest. Upon completion you will receive:

105 Experience Points (XP)
5 Gold (G) x 100% (H Modifier) = 5 Gold (G)

I really wanted you to focus on design skills, but the truth is you’ve gotta have skills to create design.

This quest will challenge you with new digital skills while also pushing you to engage your creativity in design.

This is likely your first Epic Quest project of the semester. This one will take some work and will show your ability to apply skills as you learn them.

This quest has been a favorite of many former students. Now let’s see what you can do with it.
