A moveable type project proposal

12041
I intend for the page I contribute to the book to be in a moveable type style. I want it to include between 5 and 10 words. Each of the “words” will be arranged in varying shapes, and colors if possible. Longer words will be in smaller type, shorter words will be in large type. Two of the words will be placed in two corners of the page, as if they were shoved into the corner using a push broom. The other words will be scattered throughout the page, to be read in any order, and separated using line segments. The line segments will either be hand drawn or composed of repeating small shapes. A small flower, or similar image, will be centered at the bottom of the page in red.
