This book cover and interior design project was for a typography course. The most important goal was setting the tone for the story with typography and setting up the file properly for printing and binding. I made an anthology of Grimms’ fairytales, so I chose a historically-inspired style, but using a modern execution. For example, I used blackletter typefaces like those popular in Germany at the time of the stories' collection for the cover, titles, and drop caps, but for the stories chose a more legible typeface for modern readers while still emulating historical broadsheets with its less defined edges. Because the focus was on the typography, I kept the illustrative elements simple and consistent, using fanciful flower and leaf glyphs on the cover and for the endmarks to further tie the exterior and interior together.
