Week 4 Type Treatment

Project 1 Research

I wanted to break down the research into two parts: the first part being middle school targeted books; and the second being books that are well designed with typography.

First Part:

Second Part:
(all of which comes from both Communication Arts Typography Annuals)

Week 3 Type Treatments

I wanted to try two different type treatments with this one quote. I think the first one is much better (because this was the last one I did) and the second one was more of an experiment trying to use "design is" as the separating element.

HW3 Layouts

From the random article, I got Theo Altmeyer, who seems to be an interesting fellow. And my random picture is of this little girl.

Both of the layouts I emulated were from page 62, the first was of Josef Muller-Brockman's 1953 magazine cover layout. I thought it was very cool how it had the picture in the background with different color blocks. Since my picture was very similar, I chose the same layout, but with different colors.

The second layout I chose was emulating the early 1400s  - 1800s posters (a.k.a. "broadsheets") by having the image on the top and the text separated into columns.

Week 2 Type Treatment

I'm definitely continuing to work on creating more effective type, which is why I think these assignments are going to be so beneficial. Giving it my first shot!
