STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATION

STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATION in regards to the final project:
YOU MAY NOT use either found or stock photos or illustrations on this project. YOU MAY stage your own photos, create your own illustrations, or simply use texture and type as a way to create a look for your cover.

Your Final Typo

TYPOGRAPHY FINAL

For your final you will design a dust jacket for a book as well as set three spreads, each representing the first two pages of a different chapter from the book. The book you choose should be a book with a minimum of three narrators, and each narrator will get their own typeface.

For this project, you will use an actual book as a model for the dimensions of your jacket as well as for the dimensions of your page spreads.

Each spread should be set with a different typeface, a typeface that reflects the character of the narrator for that particular chapter. The text type, the body of your text must be clearly legible. For the text type you should use one of the five classifications, no novelty typefaces. There is more room to experiment and play with the paragraph indications as well as the chapter headings. You should use the actual text from the book.

Your dust jacket design should include the spine as well as the inside flaps. You have complete freedom as to what you do with the cover, such as whether or not you include any additional information about the book or author. All design should be in service to the content and style of the book, and your design should make the book attract attention on the shelf, from the front cover as well as the spine.

PROJECT 4: CD Package Design

For our next project, we will create a CD Package for a typeface from this list of typefaces by classification.

This booklet should display a minimum of three members of the type family (roman, italic, and bold) and give background information on both the typeface designer and the typeface itself, situating the importance of the typeface and typographer historically.

There should be a minimum of 350 words of historical information.

You may use black, white, and two colors.

The alphabet must be represented in upper and lowercase its entirety in roman, italic, and bold.

There is not a size (and consequently not a page number) specification for the booklet, other than that it must hold a CD. That gives us a minimum size specification of 4.75" and a minimum number of page designs at 4

One page must contain a letterform as part of the design. The height (either cap-height or x-height, depending on the case you choose) is a minimum of 4".

There should be an image of the original typeface.

You need to print this project twice, you will turn in one package and keep the second for your portfolio.
