Choose a Font Combination
Time limit: 1 hour
Remember to use your visual timer! We recommend the inventor’s iOS and Android apps — just search for “Time Timer” in the app store.
Explanation
In this assignment, you’ll follow up your earlier work choosing a font for the Summit cycling brand, by exploring some possible font combinations.
Instructions
Develop three possible font combinations
Set your timer: 50 minutes
The goal for this assignment is to come up with three different font pairings for the Summit cycling brand.
If you like, you can use the fonts you chose in the earlier assignment as the starting point for each pairing. However, if you prefer, you can also choose new options for the brand font.
Either way, remember that you only have an hour for this assignment, so don’t spend too long down the font-browsing rabbit hole!
