4 Type/Image Relationships

Book: Type, Image, Message: A Graphic Design Layout Workshop

Authors: Nancy Skolos & Tom Wedell

Separation: TYPE and IMAGE operate independently from one another

Fusion: TYPE and IMAGE merge into one entity

Inversion: TYPE and IMAGE trade places and the type takes on pictorial properties or the image 

takes on typographic qualities

Fragmentation: TYPE and IMAGE displace one another

Images: The only images that may be used will be architectural or text in nature and black and white. The theme of imagery has been chosen for you in order to fit the content and to avoid the pitfall of creative block. If you can think of images that you would like to use that could work on the first day you may present the case and I will either okay or veto them.

Color: You should choose one color group to work with (3 main colors and variations of those colors in light and dark)

Fonts: Two fonts that work well together

Design: Some design aspect should bring the panels together to push a cohesive look when the book is pulled together.
