These are the 15 drafts for the third project. The third project focuses on making a book: there are a total of five drafts for the book cover, five for the contents page, and five for the page layout(s). Each image illustrates a total of two boxes (approximately 5" x 7") that contain unique and artful designs for the three main parts of the book. As stated in the previous blog post, the typeface chosen for the project is Futura (designed by Paul Renner); therefore, all words, phrases, sentences and numbers are typed in this typeface. This also includes titles, captions and the like. Moreover, the main subject matter of the book is the New Deal relief program; hence, the title of the book is The New Deal. There will be passages on the American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Great Depression, and other topics related to the New Deal.
The goal of this project is to create dynamic and engaging compositions for the book cover, contents page, and page layout(s). The titles are self-explanatory: they are the largest and stylistic texts within the boxes. Large rectangles and squares indicate where pictures are to be placed. On the other hand, miniature squares are the selected page numbers and letters. Moreover, horizontal lines specify where words, sentences and phrases are going to be placed (their thickness and spacing indicate their weight). Small pound sings on the corners or bottom center of a page point out where page numbers are going to positioned. Balanced placement is essential for this book project.
As usual, like the past projects, the drafts are subject to change in terms of appearance, placement and composition. They are to be digitalized, refined, and finished as the pages of a bundled book. This project is due at the end of the semester.
