Images that get closer to vanishing point becomes small. All objects recede towards that one point. 2) Two-point perspective Vanishing points on either side of the horizon. Helps to create a greater sense of space and gives objects more sense of dimension and place. Objects recede toward two separate points, allowing more dynamic views. 3) Three-point perspective Consists of two vanishing points on opposite sides of a horizon, but with addition of another vanishing point high or below the horizon. To achieve sense of drama and scale. Third vanishing point on vertical ...

INSTRUCTIONS Task 3A  Type Design & Communication  We need to design a set of fonts.
