Book: Final Book Jacket

For the final book jacket, I wanted to emphasize the simplicity that I had been going for throughout my other pages. I did this by enlarging the text and utilizing the gold band.

Book: Final Layout

Here is my final layout. After multiple revisions even in the final hour before printing, I decided to get rid of the CK on the top band on the second spread and opted for just the gold. I thought that it might not come out as I had envisioned in the printing phase.

Book: Final TOC, TP & Bio

Here is my final table of contents, title page and bio. For the table of contents I decided to continue with the vertical blocks and oversized page numbers. Each block is equally spaced from one another and offsets the horizontal line at the bottom of the page nicely. The title page continues with the horizontal band and ultra light font.

Book: Works Cited

Early on, my group and I decided that we would dedicate an additional spread to a works cited page for all four of our papers. This accomplished two things: 1.) we didn't have to redesign our layouts to make room for our works cited, 2.) made our book feel like an actual book with having a works cited page at the end.

Here is my final works cited page:

Book: Group

Mary Sniezek: Michael Rock
Morgan Petri: Horst P. Horst
Laura Blake: Eva Zeisel

Book: Less is More

After having completed the initial round of page design, I opted for a more minimalist approach. That can bee seen in the use of white space, minimal graphics, and ultra thin font that give a professional feel. I didn't want my book to be bogged down with crazy amounts of visuals that took away from stories, but yet I wanted it to compliment each artist.
