Grzechowiak-Book



I chose the first book, Coraline, for its unique illustration and choice of typography. It features texture, shape, and contrast; the illustration is that of an artist's, and the typography incorporates the creepiness and mystery of the story.

The second book/graphic novel, Sandman (Vol. 3), features another artist's artwork, as well as emphasis, contrast, and line. The design of the artwork takes up the entire cover, using the lines of the type and the lines in the artwork to emphasis the contrast between dark and light.

The last book, Small Steps, take a minimalistic approach to the design of the novel, using pattern, space, and form. The shape of the footsteps incorporate the concept of the story, and the typography of the small title does the same.
