Objective
Design a book that demonstrates the fundamental principles of typography in a simple, powerful way. The book should have a high-level message and a strong consistent concept. This should not be just one more publication on typography, this book should be a piece of art and a guide book for everybody in the graphic arts, especially for new designers entering the field. This book will discuss the typographic elements; the micro-aesthetic qualities of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, lines, etc., as well as the rules and techniques developed for professional typesetting such as dashes, apostrophes, kerning, tracking, etc.
Solution
I created a new grid system in 6x9 inch paper. The concept is about the language. I created this book through the pronunciation and spelling of Swedish. About fonts, I have a combination for the one serif-Adobe Garamond Pro, and one sans serif-Univers.
The book is a practical guide to the mastery of Swedish. It shows the 29 Swedish letters, grammar, spelling, and pronunciation skills. At the same time, through the layout, this book shows the layout skills, line spacing, kerning, special characters, and paragraph settings.
