Project Three Inspiration: Book Covers

Project Three is all about conveying emotion in your design to compel the consumer to purchase your book. Your cover must use only type but within that one constraint, infinite possibilities abound...

TYPE, PURE AND SIMPLE






















TYPE MADE OUTSIDE THE COMPUTER










TYPE EMBELLISHED WITH ILLUSTRATION, SIMPLE SHAPES, AND ORGANIZATIONAL ELEMENTS


















TYPE FLIRTING WITH THE EDGE

Charrette Three: Wall-O-Type

Using only the letters from your first name, create a sheet of repeating wallpaper (based on demo in class). You must only use the typeface Garamond (though you may use any weight) and only 2 colors (of your chosing; you may also choose to use only 1 color). You may repeat any letter as many times as you like but you must use every letter from your first name only. You may not spell out your name or any words that the letters of your name may make. You may use a mix of capitals and lowercases or stick with one or the other. The goal of this exercise is to create a repetitious design which conveys a single emotion (assigned at random) and suitable for covering an interior space.

Pattern & Emotion: Inspiration from Wallpapers

Patterns are capable of expressing complex emotions through the use of scale, repetition, color and density. We will explore how creating patterns with type, centered around expressing specific emotions, can elevate our designs to a new level of viewer understanding and interaction. We will be using this how-to to create our repeat pattern.
