Re-Forming the Message - 2nd Amendment

Objective: Choose a significant historical document and reformat the design to make a better visual impact.

I mostly used IMPACT as I wanted the font to really be bold. I also used Arial narrow in some area that I didn’t have much space. I also used Wide Latin for the big bold look of the number 2 to resemble the gun. I also used Arial Black across the top and used a 3-d effect to same me some time and simulate the top ridge.

I think it’s a pretty creative use of type for this paticular document
