Begin with this content: the standard test message “Hello, world.” Design the message in Google Drawing. Unlock every option in this primitive software for producing graphic form. Use type and shapes, anything except an image.

By the end of this process, the real “content” of your drawing should become the technical medium itself, the software you used to produce it. Play with all the possibilities for form embedded in this particular tool. Say “nothing” in order to explore and reveal the universe of constraints and possibilities that reside within a simple software.

As you discover and work with these latent forms, also imagine that you are saying hello to the world of graphic design, in whatever tone of voice makes sense. The sentence should remain legible. Produce three significantly different “drawings,” each of which expresses a different tone of the salutation. Export your images as a jpgs and print each on a letter sized sheet.
