I think its to use fonts that sort of match the words meaning.

If this means what I think it means..

I'd have Repetition repeated in the background a loada times, and then one larger, bolder one in the middle or something.
&&Disruption I'd have the letters kinda.. scattered, rotated, all kinda randomly?

For Elimination, I'd either slice it in half horizontally, or [if you can use colour], have it several times, written in black, and then have just one, written in white [or another lighter color]?

Does that make sense?
Or am I just.. off on some weird tangent? xD

Subtraction could have the end of it slighly blured or erased.

Addition could have a slightly bigger + sign in place of the letter T.

Repitition sounds like it's sorted already.

Migration depends on how far you're allowed to stretch the idea.

Either have a bird with "Migration" written on its wing, or MIGRATION in thick bold lettering with a large picture of a bird inside all of the letters, since birds migrate at winter.

If pictures aren't allowed and it's purely all about the text, then bird shaped lettering or letters with beaks on the end might work.

Dramatic seems to have Disruption sorted too.

For elimination I would have either one letter in red with a bullet hole in it, as though it's been shot.

Or one letter with a trap door underneath it, so it looks like someone's pressed a button to "eliminate" that letter.
