  1. Hey Andrea, great start! Your font capabilities page looks great! You have really consistent negative space throughout with the exception of a few spots, so maybe take another look at those areas where the letters are fairly close. Remember that you’ll be cutting down your pages by hand so you can have the letters bleed off the page (called a full bleed).

    A few things to keep in mind:
    – Think about the hierarchy exercises we used for the poster. How can you implement those ideas into your page layouts? Right now the font name and designer feel like they’re the same tone. Maybe experiment with different sizes and positions for the designer’s name. Should it be closer or connected in some way to the font name?
    – I would take another look at your alignment. Your font name seems to be floating on the right side of the page.
    – Remember to label the different styles/weights (light, light italic, medium, medium italic, etc.). Maybe even include the type size/leading next to the style as well in smaller type (ex:14/16) so the viewer has an idea if the font runs small or large.
    – Be sure to label what category/classification this font is.

  2. I also forgot, because you’re going to have a binding screw post, maybe put a magenta dot on your master page (or on its own layer) where the screw will go for reference while designing your book.
