Course: Typography II
Overseen by Becca Leffell Koren
Scope: Book Layout, Design Research, Image Treatment, Text Analysis
Programs Used: Adobe InDesign, Photoshop
The book incorpartes themes of lights and shadows with floating echo-like typography and elements of visible versus hidden. An engraved hardcover encases the book to give it importance. It calls the audience to think about their role in helping those in need, especially the underpriviledged children described in the sermon.
After analyzing the two text and diving deep into researching the time period and cultural pieces related to Prathia Hall, I presented two possible directors for my book:
Concept 1:
Based on protest and social justice. Bold colors, cut out texts, and striking imagery.
Concept 2:
Based on themes of Christianity, with gold and light and the delicate but sharp details. .
Concept Application + Image Treatment
With a lot of thought, research, and exploration of Christian theme, I landed on the concept of lights and shadows. After gathering images of shadows in nature and children in various circumstances, I began manipulating the images with effects, filters, color maps, and more. I also applied the hazy effect to call-out text and used one centered column for main body text to reflect illuminated manuscripts.

I wanted the book to be similar to grand and elevated book that could be placed in an ornate Church. I decided to carve and paint bookboard to create the covers. The book is perfect bound.
