For the type sample, I designed a booklet displaying the features of the Adobe System’s Didot LT Std font. For me, it was interesting to look at the history of fonts as well as the things that make them different. Following the style of Didot, I tried to make an elegant format in my book. I was limited in my ability because of unfamiliarity with Adobe InDesign but I feel the font makes up for a lot of my shortcomings. I tried to keep layouts simple but quaint while covers were a little more extravagant, but still geometric and simple in style. I also added in a light colored character on a few pages to add some non-distracting elegance and interest. The biggest weakness of this book is the blue inside cover, which strays from the overall color scheme.
