(We will do this project twice, once with a classic typeface and once with a novelty font)

Typeface CD booklet

Two printed copies due March 8th.

Typeface CD booklet

4 pages of roughs should be posted by 9 am on February 24.

Type on Disc (BOOKLET)

Create a booklet for a CD containing both the True Type and Open Type (.TTF and OTF.) versions of a typeface.

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 200 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"

One page must contain a letter whose height (either cap-height or x-height, depending on the case) is 4.75".

There should be an image of the original typeface.

PAGE ANATOMY

Please refer to the page anatomy diagram to assist you in your next exercise.

for February 15th:

Spread using Grid:

Create a four page article on two double page spreads using the text and images provided by Designing with Type online here.
(We will not be using the Designing with Type online grid, rather we will be creating our own grids to be used for our pages. (One page grid will be used for all for pages.)

Each page is 8" x 8" and should be printed on a single 8.5x11 sheet.
Each double page spread should be posted in the glass cases outside the lab, one spread above the other by 8am February 15th. Include text type, display type, heads, subheads, captions, and folios.

Please refer to the following examples from Designing with Type online:
