After a week rather quiet at the posts, I begin this new week with a beautiful cover. If the final touch is created through the DTP standard, the entire base was made by hand. An Object of Beauty Steve Martin has taken shape thanks to the talent of the designer Darren Booth. He is an artist that I like very much, especially for his love of typography. Knowing that makes 80% of his work on paper, I'm still more appreciative!
What I propose here is to follow the process graph coverage. It is the designer who has posted these photos, the cover has resonated strongly. He also received a lot of creative freedom, which is pretty rare. The main challenge was to show that this book was talking about art without highlight or show the influence of a particular artist. Here are some sketches that show his typographic research.
The designer wanted to put its letters on a white background to better distinguish among the future coverage others. It also tells us that it is the imperfections that make it unique, and it why he played, especially with the R and N Martin and if we look more ready, many other letters.
In these photos, you can see the painted background, which turned into a second of coverage and which also allowed to be the bottom cover letters. A beautiful work that shows that everything is not done directly to the computer and paper that step is far from being negligible!
