VISC 202 - Found Type

Today during class we found the letters "TYPE" in our surroundings. These are my favorites.

Book: Final Layouts

Here are end pages, title page, and table of contents for the final layout of my book. 

Book: How to Design

As I searched for examples of good design, I came upon this website dedicated to designing for books. They go over designing a concept and following through, book covers, and especially what not to do.

Book: Bad Design

We were asked to find examples of good and bad design. These, unfortunately, are my examples of bad design. Some covers have nothing to do with their subject, like the space-themed Wizard of Oz, and other have too much going on or too many font choices.

Book: Inspiration

Great inspiration for book design

Book: Brodovitch Inspiration

While looking for more layout inspiration, I found a couple spreads from Alexey Brodovitch, my designer, himself. I love his use of balance and white space. He also arranges photographs in ways that draw your eyes around the page. I think he was really innovative for his time but his spreads are still stylish and modern today, and he is a real inspiration to me.
