Crystal Goblet / F*ck Content
Typographic Booklet - The Golden Goblet
Statement of Intent
This project features two essays, The Crystal Goblet by Beatrice Warde and F*ck Content by Michael Rock within a single booklet design. The design focus is on typographic treatments without using major imagery. My focus while designing is to support F*ck Content's idea of the importance of form, so I used many different weights of Nobel while designing to exaggerate and highlight the form of the letters. The Crystal Goblet uses a traditional serif Garamond font with small font sizes while being censored, making the entire essay nearly unreadable. The initial design process included sketching, flat-plan, paper dimension, grid layout, and type pairing explorations. I utilized various design techniques and materials in the design process. The use of vellum paper symbolizes the transparency of the crystal goblet, a metaphor for typography revealing content. I also used golden parchment paper for the cover to pair well with the title treatment. I have also experimented and created a single French folding page with a die-cut. The booklet is bound with Japanese stab binding because of the different paper types applied. It is a binding technique that uses a single page when binding, so I used the French fold to avoid gluing two pages together which would warp the material and did a die-cut on one side. I titled the booklet The Golden Goblet to reference the first paragraph of The Crystal Goblet and have the back cover with a F*ck Content quote.
