finished printed and bound context book

After a lot of folding and trimming the book is now completed! I have to say i'm really pleased with the way this turned out, as apposed to a few of my other briefs, this actually turned out a lot better than I thought it might. This is defiantly a nice object that I will keep, and I guess I learnt a load more about typography and typefaces making it, which was the point.

The Cover, I decided to use some really minimal, but tight typography for this. I letter-spaced small caps with an EM dash in the middle, as with the contents page I used Eames as the typeface to give a modern but retro feel. I like the look of small caps like this and its something you don't see used much anymore, I think because its not as easy, you have to think about it, and you need some knowledge about how fonts work.

A page spread for example, you can see I tried to get the timeline to flow through the margins.

Folded out, again the line continues through. (each spread folds out like this)
