Episode I - 1

One of our projects in our ART 244 class was to create a book of experimental typography designed to showcase and advertise fonts as though they were created by a single foundry. We could use any text we wanted, but they all had to generally come from the same source. We were to create at least 10 square compositions, each using only one font family, and then bind them into our own book by any method we choose. Eventually I chose to mount each composition onto a square illustration board with 1" margins and put all the boards into a two-piece slipcase made out of cardstock.

I chose to use the opening crawls from all six Star Wars films as my text, making two compositions for four of them so I could meet the mininum requirement. Here is the first of two pieces I created using the text of the opening crawl for The Phantom Menace, using only the Baskerville font family.
