Typography and Page Design is a course that explores the history, aesthetics, and technical aspects of type relating to digital media.  For the final project, Professor Charles Bigelow asked his students to demonstrate the typographic skills they acquired during the quarter.  Students chose a novel from a list, and were required to use their typographic skills to layout the selected book.  They were encouraged to experiment with different typefaces and text styles to find a solution that reflected the tone of the novel.
Chris Little decided to work on the novel Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen.  He chose to use elegant typefaces to match the style of the book.  A major challenge was that the text had to be legible as well as visually appealing.  Overall, Chris enjoyed working on the project and looking at his various classmates’ interpretations of different books.  He thought it was a great learning experience and an opportunity to better understand the process of book design from concept to finished product.
