version1: this is my original concept of using simple and straightforward method to describe complex and creative idea (experimental typography). The concept is very similar to today's blog template, but it's html...and I think it looks fine to deliver all the necessary message within a page.


version 2: I decide to change my color to full saturated magenta, because since the topic is "experimental typography", I should do something unusual and extraordinary...therefore, i try something that I normally won't do or nearly my style.......as a result, it came out quit nice, to me perhaps....lol...haha...so i guess i will keep experiment it....(^_^)

Style guide-David Kalkbrenner-

Here are my style guides. Body copy is Baskerville bold 12/14.4. Captions are Helvetica 8/9.6. Colors are just my text. Text will be black. Pictures are very colorful so no other colors will be used.

I may have bit off more than I can chew with this one... I've already spent close to 4 hours on it... boooo. Still a wip...

Concept Summary-Kimberly

The subject of my book is International Style in your everyday life. It will consist of photos that I have taken of design around San Francisco, that were influenced by International Style. There will be three chapters: corporate identity, advertisements, and wayfinding/information design. Each chapter will have photographed examples of the topics and text to go with it. The text will explain what international style is, where it came from, and how it is still so popular today. 

omg..i hate these people (no offense)

David Kalkbrenner's cover

This is my temporary cover. The cropped letters in the background will be mixed up and none will repeat. The 'Experimental Typography' won't be black and white, just one or the other. I wanted to see which would look better. 

David Kalkbrenner's ideations/spreads

  The topic of my book is The Experimental Typography of Stefan Sagmeister. Stefan Sagmeister started a diary at the age of 14. In this diary, he titled his entries ‘Things I have learned so far in my life.” After coming up with fifteen entries, he began to typographically design them in strange and creative ways and present them in various places all over the world. In my book I want to show off his extremely orginal typographic work.

  Since his work is so over the top, the style of my book will comment that by being subtle and not trying to compete with his work. The body text will be Baskerville bold and the captions will be Helvetica. Each chapter will be a different diary entry and the chapter openers will be the title of the diary entry hand-drawn with decorative additions that I will also use throughout the book. Color for now will be black and white since the images are so colorful and vivid.

  The chapter openers are temporary at the moment. They will be refined for the final.

My book is going to be about International Style in your everyday life. It will include photographs, that I have taken, of design in your everyday life that was inspired by International Style. Here are some spreads as well as a cover idea. I plan to mimic the photo layout with the text.
