Typography 1 – Type Specimen Book
As the cover of my book implies, as well as the pages inside, I wanted to accentuate the theme of opposing genders and play with the two fonts in an almost story like way. The lightness of the pink and gray allows for a slightly subtle approach to this concept, rather than using red and black throughout the entire book, for example. The bold color stripes along the bottom of the body text pages allowed variations of each font throughout the book and provided a visual base for the main text. The grid also gave an appropriate amount of space to insert captions about the Eaves font series along the outside margins. All of these elements together created a strong message and appearance for such a small book.
