Welcome to 'My Little Book of…Good Typography,' a project that embodies my passion for the art of typography and book design. This printed editorial showcases traditional 'good practice' in typography, aiming to educate and inspire through beautifully crafted pages.
Project Overview
In this book, I delve into the essential aspects of good typography, covering key topics such as readability, typographic principles (including type size, leading, and line length), effective layouts, and the use of grids to support and frame typography. My goal is to provide a comprehensive guide that highlights the importance of these principles in creating visually appealing and functional designs.
Colour Palette
To bring a vibrant and modern touch to the traditional concepts, I have used a radiant colour palette. The shades range from fuchsia to yellow fluo, lilac, and orange, adding a dynamic and engaging visual element to the book. This choice of colours helps to make the content not only informative but also visually stimulating.
Practical Examples
'My Little Book of…Good Typography' includes practical examples of typography in real-world projects. I have featured famous works such as the new branding of the New York Botanical Garden, as well as designs from the food and fashion industries. These examples serve to illustrate the application of typographic principles in various contexts, demonstrating their relevance and effectiveness.
Informative Content: In addition to practical examples, the book contains informative content that delves deeper into the theory and principles of typography. Topics such as the golden ratio, essential typography principles, and personal projects are included to provide a well-rounded understanding of good typography practices.
