Jaezar Soriano - Project 3 - Cover and Summary of Concept

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.

Book thus far - Tre One Deuce One Sizzy

I'm pretty close to done. I still have to add page numbers, markers, sources, and a cover. Get ready for 16 images. Peace.

Book ideas

I'll be doing my book on Experimental type, with an emphasis on 60's-70's psychadelic posters (think Fillmore). My primary colors will be black and red (like my poster). As for the book itself, I'll be doing a 9x7 book (that's landscape folks) with offset margins. I'll be using a 6 row x 7 column grid to force asymmetry within the pages. Right now, I'm playing with 1" outside margins, but will definitely break them from time to time. As for fonts, I'll be using both a serif and sans serif font - one for readability and the other for captions and whatnot (so far, I'm thinking DIN and Garamond). Anyways, here is a screenshot and a pic of the flexibility my grid should offer.
