12 Years a Slave Typography Book


Objective:
Create a typography book using the screenplay of the movie of your choosing. Choose typefaces and experimental typography to represent the actions and emotions happening in the movie. The reader should be able to know what is happening in the movie by reading the book, Piece must be printed and bound using a method of your choosing.

Creative Brief:
The movie I chose was 12 Years a Slave, screenplay by John Ridley.
I will use expressive typography to show the more intense moments in the storyline such as whippings. The movie itself is such a beautiful film despite it being such a dark subject. I wanted a book that is also beautiful and classic. There should be contrast between the less intense scenes and the dramatic ones.  
Printed Book Cover
Dialogue Spread 
Expressive Type page, showing the emotion of panic and desperation 
Expressive Type experiment for a whipping scence
Perfect binding book block process
