typography

About to start this typography assignment. In order to get a decent grade from Mr. Bain I'm goin to try to try to include at least 3 of these techniques:
● Substitute Letters
● Words that imitate sounds or actions
● Letterforms can be made from images
● Work with typographs (logos or symbols made from type)
● Use cliché's for building on ideas
● use contrast (size, color etc...)
