What is tyopography?
Typography is, quite simply, the art and technique of arranging type. It's central to the work and skills of a designer and is about much more than making the words legible.Your choice of typeface and how you make it work with your layout, grid, colour scheme, design theme and so on will make the difference between a good, bad and great design.
Good typography is partly down to creative intuition, but it's impossible to become skilled in typography without understanding the basic rules of the craft - even if you mean to break them.

My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion, it's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try

This lyrics remnd me of my past because it explains perfectly how i used to feel, whenever i hear this lyrics it brings back all the bad/good things about my past. Therefore i decided to use those lyrics and edit them in Photoshop.
