'Typology' Book Design
For this project I designed two books: An informative book on Typology and a type specimen on Sahara Bodoni. For Typology, I was given the raw text for a book on the history and uses of different typography. I used the text to design a book with graphic images and specimens to demonstrate the differences between the typefaces. For my type specimen I chose to design a booklet highlighting the features of Sahara Bodoni; a typeface I love. I compared the bold, yet elegant characters to fashion advertisements, which share the same feelings. The two books slide together using a slip case with the Sahara Bodoni 'S' character cut out to show the brilliant blue of the booklet through.
