We are the people of Facebook.

Above: Mathias, Letraset on plastic. Genial! My intermediate typonauten recently undertook the same challenge undertaken by the GRD_2010 grupetto, and have provided equally compelling sketches and solutions. Once again we focused on solving this problem by hand, then allowing the computer to aid the creation of multiple solutions. All text still references the chants and phrases Mona provided us, translated into cell-phone type. Student work is displayed alphabetically, look for Sarah’s inspired GIF toward the end.
