Typographer Project
Observe a random magazine cover and double page spread and identify its grid structure and elements. Then research a typographer and redesign the cover and spread in their style. Additionally, create a half-page advertisement about the opening of the Hill Memorial Library study room using elements from a book you observed during a class trip to the library.
I chose Herb Lubalin, who was a very influential graphic designer in the mid-20th century. His most famous typeface, “Avant Garde” was really inspiring to me, and he continues to influence my work to this day.
