More test layouts

I wanted to try out a little experiment based on Ryan Reigner's indented lettering (see "Paper Typography" post).  I thought that my poster might benefit from some bright colours, so I drew equilateral triangles onto cheap coloured paper, each one slightly smaller than the last but each with the same mid-point. I then mounted these beneath one another with a thick (but not, in retrospect, thick enough) cardboard frame seperating each one to give depth. Although I wasn't exactly giddy with happiness with the result I decided that the cheap, low quality paper was more to blame than the idea or the methods, so I made it again with expensive, high quality card the next day. And it still didn't make the final cut (pun not intended)!
