INSTRUCTION

PROJECT 2

The content we had generated for project one will be made into a book with the size smaller than A4 and bigger than A5. Before jumping into it, we need to specify the typefaces we are going to apply to the book, to see whether the combination of the typefaces to the text, sub-text, and pull quote is fine or not. For the grid system, I decided to proceed with the Van de Graaf system because I like it and I think it suits the whole book.

Fig 1.0 Type Specimen

Typeface combination:

Heading: Avenir Light (25pt)

Body text: Avenir Light (12pt)

Sub text: Avenir Roman (12pt)

Pull quote: Avenir Black (14pt)

After some feedbacks, the final typeface combination:

Heading: Avenir Light (22pt)

Body text: Avenir Light (10pt)

Sub text: Avenir Medium Oblique (7pt)

Pull quote: Avenir Black (30pt)

Title: Market Deco
