Typographic alignment

In this session we discussed the typographic alignment and how important it is for the good page layout. We discussed how difficult it's actually to assess what is a well placed text and what is the best alignment, as we have used with the computer where the fonts are well calculated and the alignment is automatic. We do not have to think about these things. 
After that we had to find a quote related to art and design and then to choose a typeface and print out the alphabet. We had to use the letters from the alphabet to build the quote on an A3 page format considering where to place the text and what to be the distance between the lines and the letters to get as final result a well placed on the page text that is well aligned on the page. 

This is a picture of the process before printing out the page with the alphabet and the quote. Afterward I've change the fond and chose the one on the photo below. 

Here's an example of typographic alignment:
