a booklet for little rarities of young designers
RAREE SHOW is a booklet that has won a small typography competition at my school.
The task was to unify the showpieces of a group of different people, while leaving enough space for the individuality of each work. The challenge was not to simply use blank sheets, but to arrange the booklet in a proper style that would simultaneously not disturb the personality of each picture.
Since the goal was to create a container for little rarities I reminded myself of the so called "raree shows" which were well known in the olden days. The small colourful boxes, that mostly are designed as small TVs, are telling fairytales simply by controllable pictures. Just like storybooks do.
I perceived the raree show as the perfect kind of medium to tell the story of the young designers from my class. After picking the central theme of the booklet both the fonts and the graphic elements had to fit its retro- style.
This booklet (student work) has been created with ADOBE INDESIGN (layout) and ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR (graphic elements).
