ORIGAMI TYPEFACE!

Hi everyone!

I've been working with Amy on the design for the website and we've been brainstorming about how to bring in the core group members for the look of the website. I was thinking we could create a custom display typeface for the headline "A People without a Voice Cannot Be Heard."

So here's the fun part! It would be amazing if each person could take on a letter or two from the headline above and created it from folding a white 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. I think the results will be amazing and dynamic!

Please comment below with your chosen letter

Hey Amy, I would be happy to either be in charge of copywriting or

but I could work together with a programmer in regards to the site
