Here is my Typeface Specimen Poster. This is to test my skills using type in Adobe Illustrator. Its not amazing by any means but I worked really hard on it and using type is somewhat new to me as far as working in Illustrator goes. All that really went into it was Arial type and a couple basic shapes to add emphasis and contrast and to generally make it look good. 

Here is my Pinterest Inspiration of similar projects that I thought looked good and wanted to draw inspiration from.
