I chose to do my book on art deco architecture. While designing this book I wanted to feel like it was a part of the art deco time period without being to decorative I wanted to let to images to be my ornamentation of my designs. I chose a tall skinny orientation for my book layout to resemble the tall nature of the art deco skyscrapers. I used three layers of book board to make my cover 3d to resemble and the features of buildings. I chose to use black paper to relate to the black and white nature of the bones of my book. I chose to foil my cover to relate back to the metallic futuristic elements of art deco and the high-quality materials they use. The fonts I used were Harlem deco as my title font and josefin sans as my body copy I chose them because there x height resembled fonts from that time period and they weren’t to decorative. I cut out the buildings from the background to have more interaction between the image and type. I tried to have my images be interacting with my image in every spread. I used a lot of vertical text to bring your eye up and down the page. I lightened my text to a gray color and the titles I chose a color from the image and lightened it so that the image wasn’t over powered by the large text. I chose to include French fold into my book because I want to place some art deco patterns without distracting from the architecture. They are a nice surprise when you find them. For my paper I chose 70lb. recycle white uncoated paper and printed on the richo. The images have a glossy contrast to the mate paper like stone next to a window.
