Efflorescence Dictionary Poster Series

I am currently in a typography class, and our last project was to design 3 posters with a dictionary definition of a word of our choosing. 

I was tasked with depicting the word though using type-as- image, under different constraints and limitations. 

For all 3 posters, only one, pre-determined font was allowed, the dimensions were fixed, and I had to include only the content of the Oxford English Dictionary entry. Other elements, like type treatment, and font size varried from poster to poster.
