Medieval Booklet Production Session:7

Session Review

Medieval typography visual reference

After receiving critical feedback on my current booklet design I agree on the feedback that I received stating I needed to make the booklets design more engaging and visual appealing. This is also common knowledge to me since I have tried giving my teammate Mantas a chance at contributing a sufficient amount of artwork; however, the rate at which he draws is poor and the quality of drawings is either unfinished or poor so I have made the decision to stop relying on him and create the remaining artwork myself.

To begin with, I have begun exploring medieval typography by browsing through old books such as(...) and on the internet. In addition, I have measured the reference image and the square measures at 2 centimetres for width and height.

The reason for me designing creative text for my booklet is in order for me to use artwork and appealing colours to capture the viewer's interest on each page.
