Book Design Pick an Era

‘Book Design By the Era'

The second Project is to make a book ‘Dummy’ in one of the styles we are studying in class. Format: no larger than 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper Colors: same as you would find used in the ERA you have selected (this would rule out colors inappropriate to your chosen era

Content: Be sure to include

1. Book Cover

2. Title Page

3. Text of no more than 1-2 pages defining your era, choice of design embellishments, typeface, colors, … etc. (at least three points). Remember, this must look like it is from your era.

4. Colophon (use this page to also cite where you borrowed any illustrations or art from)

Points are reduced for sloppy craft, if it does not resemble the Era, if it does not have three points explained in your text explaining your 'choices' of the items in #3 above.

Media: You may build it in a drawing program, and you may use hand coloring, woodblock, illustrations, or anything appropriate to your chosen era.
