School: Graphic design, MI-Bergen / Merkantilt Institutt (2004)
Course: typography
Project: brochure on the topic of jazz
Client: FontShop / Luth
This project was about designing a brochure using fonts from FontShop and capturing the spirit of jazz through different decades. My spread was on the 1970ies and I used the following fonts: FF Elementa Rough, FF Super Grotesk, FF Bodoni Classic.
A great use of typography in graphic design. And you have used them in three different, very eye-catching ways. Some kerning and tracking adjustment may help lessen the wide gaps between words in the text block. The image cut to resemble piano keys as some jazz music is being played is awesome. Over all, this is a great brochure design that has captured the essence of an era and style of music by using simple yet effective elements.
