Db3.1 book

The Design layout I choose to work with is very structured in certain ways, I'm trying to keep the book simple and clean, without too many distracting visuals.
the dimension are 7 by 7, with a 1 inch margin o frame the work.

on each page the page number is designed more like an image rather than text, with the title of the book being the constant text and the page number...




On the image below, he left side of the page is an example of a pull quote that has been taken out



iCuba

In my exploration of the arts, i was visiting the Montreal museum fine arts this week, and ran into an interesting typographic screen based installation that was featured in the iCuba exhibition.

It is by a Cuban Artist named Ernesto Oroza, the work is called from "Aachen to Zürich 2005"
the work is projected onto a w
all and features the word "Revolution" in Spanish stylized in over 200 fonts
there is a brief intro on youtube that give you a taste of the work. unfortunately the quality is horrible and it dose not even captivate you in the least bit as the original, which was
entrancing...

Inspiration for finial protect

For the final I was thinking of doin an istallation or maybe a screen based work, using flash or even Processing to create a text manipulator involving user interaction, because those are more of my comfort zones,
but print based work might be the way I'm headed
I ran across this really cool blog of someone studying to do there MA in graphic design.
last Semester i tried working with text and plexi glass.... i learnt my lesson there..
this semester might i be wood?.... crazy idea, but this link was very inspirational when looking for ideas for my final project
