Type Specimen Book

Crystal Goblet_final 1-01 Crystal Goblet_final 2 Crystal Goblet_Final 3-01The objective of this project was to display a type family in action. I compared various weights of the type family. I observed the extreme contrast of this type family and certain faces while also drawing attention to letter forms. Through this project I was able to learn the very basics of book design and understand how easy it is for a book to grow in size. Because this book was saddle stitched various factors came into place. There was over hang, and I wanted to make my book so that it wouldn’t be so obvious. Attention to detail was key in this project. The inner pages of my book align perfectly throughout.
