I revamped my comps, kept the simplicity and image play to describe my font in a humorous, however interesting. However with some time and effort to really grasp my concept to explain the font better with my choices of images and placement of typography and type setting. My preliminary comp stages are very very close to my final, however the layouts weren’t very nice, or easy to understand. My sketches are plans of how I will essentially layout my booklet. I am keeping my same concept, and try to create an interactive layout so that my readers will feel engaged to my topic about Baskerville, and his typeface. I realized that actually doing Baskerville instead of ITC New Baskerville is more to my liking. Since ITC New Baskerville is just a re-rendition of the Baskerville font. Because Baskerville is used mostly in books and titles, finding images that I could possibly use for the booklet are not very interesting unless I fiddle with them a little to fit the booklet and my story about the Baskerville typeface. I want to tell people how the characters work, and not only how are they formed. The design of my booklet, has to be arranged in such a way that if someone who doesn’t know about Baskerville, will learn about it. It’s not just about using the type and how the type characteristics are, but how they are similar to everything around us. My idea is to create a booklet that has reader interests. I am not a serif kind of guy, and I think thats because its a classic style typeface that most people use for text, and who reads a lot of text besides bookworms? Nerd alert (haha) Anyways enough talking, more showing. I’ve also been looking at many other typefaces that I genuinely get attached to.
I really like the use of Letters to create shapes and space. Because we have to some kind of create a collage, maybe these can give me a a better view on maybe how I could create it for my booklet. These are a couple images that i’ve found in Pinterest. Time for some inspiration! Man, doing research on this type face already makes me think about family. ITC stands for International Type Corporation. Now that we have a small history of where ITC New Baskerville font came from, lets talk about the styles that it has to develop its characteristics. This includes all up-right, italic, bold, numbers and many more styles such as monotype Baskerville. He developed the foundry for his type in the 1750s in which developed all faces of Baskerville type. John Baskerville is an English type designer, master writer, and printer during the mid to late 1770s. John Baskerville who is like the father of Baskerville font, designed the first Baskerville font during the 1750s. Therefore ITC New Baskerville is part of the family of Baskerville fonts, and vice versa. However John Quaranda designed the type with the influences of the original Baskerville font by John Baskerville, who is the original designer of theBaskerville type face. What I’ve learned from doing my research is that the typeface was developed by a type designer named John Quaranda in 1978. That is the list of online research that i’ve done about my font. I found some answers, and then found more which is a good thing What is ITC New Baskerville? Who designed it? Where did it come from? What’s really new in the font? In all seriousness, I asked myself these questions while doing research on ITC New Baskerville.
