A Type Specimen Book for Adobe Garamond Pro
(student work)
Garamond is considered one of the most eco-friendly fonts because it has the least amount of ink usage. With this in mind, I chose to create a green book. I decided that the concept of the book would be a much stronger design if the materials used were fun, green materials. The cover is double-backed with cork board. The pages are printed on handmade recycled paper with 80% PCW. Both sides of the paper are printed on which uses less pages. The book also offers a minimal design so that the least amount of ink usage is applied.
