Typetastic!
A Tribute To Typographers
Project Brief
Create a spread to be included in Typetastic! which is a book about various typographers that celebrates their signature styles and provides a brief summary of who they are. Also, include a title page and cover that connects to your specific spread so that each book has a unique cover.
Goal
The goal of this book is to introduce a variety of influential typographers to readers to help educate them about this field of design.
Target Market
The target market is people with an interest in typography or students, approximately ages 15–25, who want a broad introduction to influential typographers.
Concept
I chose to do my spread about Michael C. Place and I wanted to capture his positive outlook on design. He also works a lot with bold colors and has a passion for print. So I decided to make a spread that emulates screen printing by layering two phrases over each other to make the messages a little more challenging to decipher.
