Radical Play In Typography

An editorial project in my first year of university. I thoroughly enjoyed this brief and it lead to very interesting research, experiments and outcomes all from the comfort of home as we were in a Covid lockdown at the time.
 

Laurence King publishing has asked us to submit a finished working design for a book titled Radical Play in Typography.

 

The requirement was to produce a digital mock-up of a poster and book with the content as listed below. In addition, I also produced a 15 - 20 second animation using visual highlights from our book, this would be used for promotional purposes on social media. All design outcomes had to contain the Laurence King logo/type. The book was aimed at undergraduate students studying graphic design.
