Koenig Final Book

Final Goudy meets Univers

My attempt was to make a travel guide to a town that has an East and West side. The East side was Univers that had the new modern aged people while the West side was the people of Goudy, who love their 16th century inspiration

For my envelop I wanted to show juxtaposition between the east side and west side.

I decided to blend the two typefaces together while incorporating architecture that I felt was relevant to the time period

Update

Type Goudy meets Univers

So far this is the progress I have made

Book Finalized

Here is my finalized book. The approach I wanted to use was to use the spread's as composition. Using the text to follow from the left page onto the right. I also want to visually emphasis natural pauses that the reader might interpret the text. I visually wanted my method to convey a sense of elegance on a personal level. By doing this I decided to use Garamond through out the whole book to make it seem almost "hand-written" quality that a serif typeface can sometimes hint at. I also looked into how the negative and positive space is directly related to the hierarchy of the spreads. I made the title out to be a horizon line, and from that built a grid based on the horizon line. Within the grid the point was to surround some lines of text of white space while pairing up others that might have similar words, or phrases.

Through this project I learned about how to convey language into a visual form. How one interprets language can be portrayed into typography, based on the arrangement, typeface, leading, contrast, negative space, etc. I also learned how to make a perfect bind, which was a difficult task for me but in the end I was pleased with the results.
