Given a portion of the body text, create a grid system to typeset the text. You may be as expressive as you wish and may also include as many images as you like, but keep the typgoraphy a priority in designing your book.
The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci // Selected and Edited by Irma A. Richter
Given a portion of the body text, create a grid system to typeset the text. You may be as expressive as you wish and may also include as many images as you like, but keep the typgoraphy a priority in designing your book.
In designing this book, I wanted to create a balance between the images and the text. I established a grid system that allowed for bands of images to flow with the text. To create variety in the spreads there are some expressive pages that break the grid and are purely typographic.
page size: 11"x7.9942"
narrator: Scala Sans Light 10pt/11.5pt
