Typography Book Project

My first project I did for 2nd year graphic design was a typography book project called 'Just My Type'. This project required me to interview ten people including myself, asking questions like what our likes and dislikes are, and choosing a quote that best describes us. I then had to design a ten double page spread book containing each person's quote and design style in it.

My concept was about condensed space and dislikes. I placed each person's quote on the one page and a typography design containing oppposites and dislikes of their quote on the other page. I designed different variations of line running through and out from their quotes; each representing their design style.

Below, you can see examples of my book in double spread page form. I encourage readers to critique my designs as honest as possible, as I would like to gain more feed back from the public.

FRONT & BACK COVER

My Situation

The point of my blog is to gain critical feedback from the public on my designs. Even if it is a small point made, it still counts! This feedback will allow me to see where I am going wrong and how I can improve on my designs to ultimately become a better, more successful designer.

I want honest and open opinions! I won't hold grudges against you don't worry! :) I want to be the best I can be, and I cannot do that if I design in isolation...

Cool

Me

This is my first post, so I am going to start off by introducing myself...

My name is Magan Evans (ME) but you can call me mags for short. I live in Benoni, Johannesburg, and I am currently studying 2nd year graphic design at Greenside Design Center.

I am a very relaxed type of person, except for when I am stressed! I don't like conformity or trying so hard to fit in. I am very spontaneous, so I don't like routine very much. I also love travelling and the outdoors. I love animals and spending time with family and friends. Memories are important to me, so I always have a camera with me where ever I go.

I'm easy going and fun to be around, and I try my best to create positivity around me!
