Typography II

Technically, I found this publication one day at the Champaign Public Library.   I loved it so much that I decided to buy a copy for myself.   The title for this book is called the making of a story by Alice Laplante.   The cover layout shows unity by centering the words and placing them around a blue border. The hierarchy of words shows the title toward the top and the author towards bottom of the page. The words “the” and” of a” are different from the title. The wanted the book to have a classical look to it. A Norton guide to Creative Writing has a double border and a black background. They did this because they wanted people to know the purpose of the book. The typography is evenly spaced and well in proportion. The first typeface is Baskerville Serif and the styles are bold, regular and italic.   The second one is a script. What I always loved this book is the modern and traditional look.

I found this informational article at Parkland College library. The name the article is called G-spot 101 by Amanda MacMillan. The layout is separated into 11 paragraphs. Each paragraph talks about separate questions for sexual intercourse for women. The illustration towards the top of the page is animated and eye-eye-catching. The words Yes gets bigger towards the end to give it action. In my head, I can image the boyfriend pleasuring his girlfriend, until she gets an orgasm. Hence, the title name G-Spot. On the right side you can see four dildos being displayed. They wanted to emphasis the best ones by using action words. The Typography is proportion and spaced evenly on the page. Helvetica Sans-serif, and the style is regular. What attracted me about this piece was the tension and playful look. Health magazine march 2018, Parkland College Library

The author for the book is colored white. The white spacing is passive because it’s centered on the cover. The image shows a woman walking towards the sidewalk. Part of her face and feet are cut off the page. Her lips, upper legs and chest are being shown. She wears a red jacket, black shirt and pants, which remains me of Carmen Sandigo.  The spacing and proportion are evenly spaced. The name of the author is white, and the title of the book is purple.

The picture on the right side shows unity by placing code intuitively on the page.   The paragraphs are flushed to the right side.   The paragraphs are separated into five equal columns. The white space is evenly centered and balanced. The picture is covered with code to emphasis the point that there is an error.   The composition of the black and white page makes it like a computer screen.

In the writers magazine, Jack Smith created this informational article. The page layout has a structure that’s symmetrical. The Illustration is bigger than the article.   He wanted to emphasis the point that the mouth is shouting out the words. It creates a nice balance between using illustration and typography. The design style is complimentary. The spacing and kerning for the typography is even. The proportions are aligned and spaced evenly.   The white and black colors with the red background works well. The typeface is Helvetica Sans-serif and style will be condensed.   What attracted me about this piece was the animated and narrative approach.
