I found a tutorial online, which had as assignment; expressive Word with Typeface (with process). From list provided, students will choose 4 words and express their meaning with Sans Serif Typeface and design elements such as scale, placement and character repetition or omission. 

The list of words were puzzle, balloon, focus, confused, shrinking, unbalanced, sink, tired, separate, strong, cheer
fade, drip, destroy, create, mistake, run, walk, fast, slow, grow.
