Brainstorm

For your plan session brainstorm several solutions for this project...consider:
-time frame (do you have time to do a particular idea?)
-materials (do you have access to certain materials?)
-originality (if you googled handmade fonts, would your idea look like a copy of something that has already been done?)
-utilizing your strengths or challenging yourself with new materials and mediums (laser cutter, 3D printer, vinyl)
