Swiss Style and Helvetica
Typography II
Brief
Choose and research an art movement and a topic related to it. Collect text and images, taking care to curate and edit them. Design a book using the grid system, illustrating two distinctive narratives in the same book. Perfect bind the book.
Approach
I chose to focus on the Swiss Style and Helvetica. The history of Swiss Style is always told in two columns on the left page; the Helvetica narrative is always a wide, singular column on the right page. Images and text follow a strict 5-column grid system, with the occasional image bleeding to the edge for a more dynamic layout.
All images, except on the endsheets, do not belong to me. Narrative content found online and edited by Maple Kuo.
