Assignment 04
Cube: Design

Design a six-sided cube using the supplied Illustrator Template. Choose one letterform from the typefaces “Univers” or “Bodoni” as a design element and apply this letter to each side of a 3-dimensional cube. The design on each side should not only incorporate the chosen letterform but also clearly represent and embody a chosen design principle. Black & White only, no color.
