Final Type Booklet: Redux - The idea was to take our final type booklet from the previous semester and re-design it in a much shorter time frame to give it a totally different feel without it losing relevance to the piece it describes (Brownie Camera). I went from a wooden, screen-printed format to a laser printed, modernist feel, playing more to the perception of a dark-roomesque composition.
Formal Book Page Layout. - In this exercise we were instructed to pull an item of historical text to be placed traditionally into a saddle-stitched booklet. The point of this exercise was to teach the rules of formal type-setting and craft as well as introduce the concept of the "golden rectangle".

Formal Book Page Layout Variation - Staying true to many of the principles of traditional booklet layout, this booklet combines two historical texts, rather than one, and is a bit more visually dynamic.

Modern Booklet Layout - Continuing with the same historical text from the formal booklet layout, we were to select a more modern text to accompany it in a new, duotone layout. I chose an article from Time Magazine speaking of the expansion of McDonald's globally. This relates to the colonization explained in my "historical text". The imagery is a map with thumb-tacks indicating key points of McDonald's expansion globally throughout its history.
