Day 87: The Book

Literary design is about tone of voice. Book and literary festival design often relies on type, restraint and intelligence, inviting the viewer into a world of ideas. The challenge is to be visually interesting without overwhelming the words.

Objective. Create a sophisticated, word-centred visual direction.

Design a poster for a literary festival that features a short quote from a public-domain author.

• Include a short quote from a public-domain text
• Typography must lead
• Maximum two colours

• A sophisticated typographic voice
• A well-set quote
• Clear event information

Design a matching bookmark that could be handed out at the festival.
