Book Design Project
In this personal design project, I attempted to redesign an art book, a collection of works and their background by Arthur Segal, a painter active in the beginning of the 20th century. Adjectives of this design project are minimalistic, clean, contrastive and aesthetically pleasing.

So I scanned the cover, reused the painting to redesign the cover and inside pages of the book. (the original cover will be uploaded at the end)
For the typeface I think it’s better that the covering page should remain to have the sensible and empathy-engaging feel which Segal’s works also deliver. Hence the handwritting typeface /Nautica/.
I also want to put in a modern touch to bring out contrast to the design: sans serif (a little decorative and print type Helvetica and Apfel Grostezk) typeface, brutalism, bauhaus-wannabe.
Logo redesign
M (maler) and W (werk) stacking up on each other was the original logo. I found it already super smart and beautiful so I kept the concept and changed the font to Tangley. I want the logo also to be connected with the text since it's not really easily recognizable and legible at first glance, instead needing a little consideration before making up one's mind about the meaning of the logo. I stacked them up. Done.
Last page is just some scribble in straight lines because I think it would serve the bauhaus/brutalistic style, which should stand in contrast to the cover page.
Since I had a pact with the minimalistic god, I tried to tone down as best as I possibly could on the colors, using only 5. Just bright orange, gray and black, and white, and red.
Hope you all enjoy this :3
