Third project of Typography is make a Type Specimen Book.
 |
Instruction
I chose 'Goudy Old Style' and search about it, sketch, and quality control for feedback.
|
 |
| information |
 |
| search and brainstorm |
I made 3 alternatives for cover :
 |
Option 1
 |
| Option 2 |
 |
Option 3
And i designed inside the book, but ms.Uma gave me feedback for some of them, like :
 |
| Feedback : page 5 better if the circle without online. page 6 looks like too crowded, but goudy old style has a neat type, so its doesn't match |
 |
| Feedback : page 8 the alphabet is untidy and distracting the page. and the orange G better without outline |
 |
| Feedback : page 9 the dark brown is too heavy and better the timeline in one spread, so it will looks neat and easy to read. Page 10 the dark brown is too heavy too, and should be change with something that simple and lighter. |
 |
Feedback : right page, it doesn't match with the criteria of Goudy, because Goudy has a neat type, it should change the design.
I want to put Goudy photo in my book, i made it like this :
|
 |
| original photo |
 |
edited in photoshop to match the photo with the color tone
|
Then i changed the design and finished them all. I use French binding so i have pattern inside the binding. |

| cover jacket |
 |
| page 13 - 14 |
 |
page 15 - 16
I am really happy ca finished this book. not bad and I enjoy when i design this book. After i submit this book, there are some feedback, like this :
Maydeline - "Overall the result is really great. I really like the paper choice, especially the cover. The color is also great. The feeling alas fits with the image of the typeface. My favorite page from her type specimen book is the page 4, it's really simple and look really beautiful. Page 7 though, looks a bit messy, maybe it's the color choice? Bit it's really informative & interesting to look at."
Kezia - "Jesslyn type specimen already good. But there's some pages, like page 3 needs to be fix because little bit messy, and page 11 also. The background cover needs to be repaired also."
Yasmin - "Your font specimen book is really informative. we will know almost everything about the font (detailed). Some of the glue doesn't really stick well so i think you should re-glue it. The boldness of the dark colors may be bolder. A cleaner result would be awesome."
LOVE,
JAJ :) |
