The don't half of the type-in-layout spread, repeating the four mockups with red strikes for warped, mixed, and distorted type mistakes.
Summary
The don't counterpart to the successful type-variations page: the same four social mockups return, now each marked with a red number and a red diagonal strike, illustrating warped, mixed-style, and distorted type to avoid.
Visual description
White-left / near-black-right split. The left column shows the "04 TYPOGRAPHY" eyebrow, a stacked two-tone "USAGE / UNSUCCESSFUL TYPE VARIATIONS" headline, and four numbered rules (don't warp the text; apply the right text-style setting; don't combine text styles within sentences; freeze the text on motion frames). The right 2x2 grid repeats the yellow story, a blurple post, a fuchsia card, and a blurple chat thread, but now each carries a red-outlined number and a long diagonal red line. The errors show: the yellow story's headline is skewed and warped, others mix weights mid-sentence or freeze a distorted motion frame.
Key takeaway
Mirroring the do-page exactly so only the mistakes differ, with a warped headline as the headline offence. The consistent red strike across a colorful grid keeps the page lively while still reading clearly as "avoid."
Reuse notes
Use as the negative half of a do/don't type spread. The four common failures (warping, wrong settings, mixed styles in a sentence, frozen motion distortion) are broadly applicable to any expressive type system. Keep strikes to one diagonal so the bad type stays legible enough to learn from.
