Maria Alvarez - Summary of Concept and Cover















For this project, My book "Print and Movable Type" is mainly focused on the history of movable type. I discussed several techniques of movable type such as metal type, wooden type and also woodblock printing all of which date back to some of the earliest Chinese Dynasties. My project 2 was based on Johannes Gutenberg who is the "Father of Type". I included the significance of his invention, which was the printing press because it was a huge impact on the history of type.

James Molgaard - Summory of Concept and Cover


My concept is derived from the topic I had for the concept map.  When doing the research on design and typography in The Netherlands I noticed that the currency there was really amazing.  I then found out that it was gone because the country turned to the Euro.  My book is going to be about the Dutch Guilder and how beautiful the designs are on the coins and bills, and how terrible the uniformity of the Euro is.

Summary of Concept

The book that I am doing is entitled “Type Technology: A History”. My original Project 2 topic was about Gutenberg, so I felt that making a book on the technology of type would be a good extension. The premise for the book is simple enough: I go through all the techniques contributing to the technology behind type, starting with handwriting and calligraphy, going into mechanical type, and ending with digital type. As far as the collateral for the book, I am planning to design them as promotional materials for the book.
