My second entry in the Big Typography Contest.

I’m really getting into typography lately and am learning how in depth a study it is. I just entered a big typography contest where we had to use the phrase “What we do in life, echoes in eternity”. This is my first entry. We’re allowed as many as we like and I figure I’ll do at least one more.

Another in the “Original Women” series called “Silence is Deadly”. Far too often women have so much to contribute but hold back because they’ve been taught that “polite girls” don’t speak up. The silence is killing us, we all need to learn to use our voices in any way we can. Blogs, zines, art, poetry, music… it doesn’t matter the medium, just make your voices heard!!!
