Basking in Baskerville
This is a typography project on the typeface - Baskerville.
Coming up with a fictional exhibition for the typeface of our choice, we are required to create , working around with typeface variations and coming up with motifs.
The 3 event posters are of different design criteria,
1. Black & White
2. White & 1 Colour
3. White & 2 Colours
From the 3 posters created, one is selected for further amendments and exploration. I chose the poster and made adjustments to its colour and layout.
A set of are to be created which could be hypothetically sold or given away as a souvenir for exhibition attendees. Visual consistency should be kept between the poster and specimen cards.
Within the 10 specimen cards, there are cards that demonstrates
1. quotes about the typeface
2. interesting macro shapes
3. some form of information hierarchy with each card demonstrating at least 3-4 sections of information about typeface

There also a requirement to have at least one professionally done souvenir mock-up. I made adjustments to the colour of my A3 poster, and the colour scheme reminded me of chocolate packaging. With that, I done up
As Baskerville is known to be used as a typeface for books, I made a handmade perfect binded book, with information and design patterns about Baskerville.
