Type Talk Depero futurista

Leave a reply

“Depero futurista”   Published 1927
Known as “The Bolted Book” because of its famous binding
By Fortunato Depero, Italian Futurist artist/designer 1892-1960
Pages can be viewed at link below

http://www.boltedbook.com/

Select two pages from the book

Compare and contrast them in terms of

Typography usage, page layout, color

The book itself is an interesting and unusual design object.
The bolts that hold the book together at its spine can be untwisted, and the pages taken out;
It is one of the rarest collectable art books around

The Bolted Book is a visual tour de force filled with ground breaking typographic experiments and bold explorations in nearly every art and design medium, including advertising and the form of the book itself

Type Talk
Select what you consider to the strongest cover design from the image below.
Explain why.

Due  Before Class MARCH 27

Client: Fenda Edições

 

Design

The project for this series of books is based on a self imposed restriction with the aim of exploring the expressiveness of the text. All book covers are designed using only two colors – black & red – over a white background. Monotype Modern Extended, a typeface to been seen rather than read, is the sole graphic element apart from the publishers logo. The vast diversity of subject matters and ages of the texts in this collection is reflected on the cover designs, with the treatment of type seeking to capture the sense and flavor of each text and each author.

  Keep In Mind the principles below:

Logotype design principles
SIMPLE
Remember, less is more.
This is one thing to keep in mind when creating a logo. Know your message. Tell your message in a focused and clear concept. Make it simple and clean. Do not distract with unnecessary elements. A good logo possesses few elements which are integral to the message.
APPROPRIATE
Your target audience will an important role to play in creating your logo. Logos need to be appropriate for its audience. For instance, the color or font type used in creating a logo for a children’s store will be inappropriate if used to create a logo for a bank.
Your logo needs to be appropriate for its purpose. Take for example , the Walt Disney logo is beautiful. However, it is beautiful for its audience but highly inappropriate for as a bank logo.
MEMORABLE
A logo should be more than graphic design. It serves as your identity, and symbolizes all that it stands for. It is your brand in design. When people forget your logo, they most likely have forgotten you.
TIMELESS
Trends come and go. Don’t follow the pack. Stand out.
Trends are trends. As a brand, you want your logo to stand out all day every day. As a brand you want your logo to stand the test of time. Pay attention to the font type, shape, balance of specific elements and capture the relevant features.
