Typography II

What fitting a way to end the semester. My mom and I were at the YMCA and we went inside the shop. My mom found a cookbook on the salve. She decided to pick the cookbook and buy it. The name of the book is called “no time to cook cookbook” When I looked at the cover I got the impression that was supposed to make fun of people who don’t have enough time. The center of attention is the hourglass which emphasis time. The food and pan and plate and fork placed randomly. That indicates fun and playful.  The spacing for the typography is open spaced and the words are under caps.  The words have a transparent box. They did that so you could appreciate the food. The name of the font is Helvetica sanserif and the style is regular. I like this cover because it’s fun and playful. YMCA

I found this cover design at Champaign Library. The name of this book is called V for Vendetta. The author for this book is Allan Moore. I Remember reading this book and I loved it. For the layout they use illustration of the Guy Fawkes mask. They center that on the front page. The words in V for Vendetta are red to make it stand out and danger is ahead. The colors that’s being used is low saturation. The spacing for kerning is tight to give it some tension. The proportions are evenly spaced and balanced. The typeface that’s being used is Helvetica sans-serif and condensed. I like this cover because for it’s serious look.     Champaign Library

I found this record design at record swap that’s located in 114 E University Ave, Champaign, IL 61820. The name of the record is called Jack Johnson by Miles Davis. I walked towards the shelf and grabbed it. I gave it a quick glance and brought it back to the self. Then I walked out of the store.   The layout shows unity by placing the car towards the center of the page. I believe this came from the 1960's. The colors are both bright and dull which they wanted to emphasizes the car and the people inside of it. The imagery in the back is the least important in the picture. The spacing for the typography is evenly spaced. The kerning is a little tight. The typeface is times new roman serif and the style is regular. What attracted me about this is was the transitional look to it. Parkland college GDS 172

I found this publication at the Champaign Public Library.   I was looking around for a book to read and I found this book. The name of book is called Machete Season by Jean Hatzfeld.     The cover layout shows unity by using an image of a guy walking around a trail path in a foggy day. Title is placed towards the top of the page and words “The Killer in Rwanda Speak” is on the right side of the page. The name of author is placed towards the bottom. The colors on the photo that is being use low saturation.   The Typography is evenly spaced and Proportional.     The designer used Helvetica san serif regular and the style would be condensed and regular. What I like about this cover is the serious look to it. Champaign Public Library
