FINAL PRODUCT: This Type Is Offal

Throughout the course of this assessment item, it was clear to me that this was a fantastic opportunity to push my boundaries and try to create something quite unique. As somebody who loves puns, I knew I wanted to do a book series that involved a play on words. The topic of my book series is typography. These books are “designed” to help grasp a better knowledge and understanding about the world of typography.

A common theme of tactility exists throughout my book jackets. Being a digital submission, I knew that the way the type was constructed would deliver depth and texture, which is why tactile typography was employed. A feeling that is consistent throughout the book jackets, is that of a rough and handmade fashion. That’s not to say careful thought and consideration wasn’t put into this assignment.

This rough and rustic style, in my opinion, allows the audience to engage on a level where they believe they can produce the same results as those on the cover of the book jackets. The audience are those with a loose understanding of typography and are looking to broaden their knowledge.

The relationship between the type and the typefaces is strong as all handmade type was done in a San-serif style, therefore allowing the font “Courier New” to compliment them.

Colours chosen, where based on the materials of the type. For example, the chicken livers used to create “This type is offal”, are a burgundy colour, so the supporting type was sampled to the same colour. The same goes for the other two titles. These colours provide a strong, bold and authentic feel and help deliver the rough and rustic feeling.

The type created for the Amber Sand collection, was created using various techniques and materials. Some of these materials include sheets of foam, paint, ink & chicken livers. The book jackets themselves, were printed on 200gsm gloss stock to provide a suitable protective barrier for the hard covered book underneath.
