Faber

After talking to Hayley, we decided to make our designs for the Faber D&AD project a lot more simple than we were previously doing. We had a look at how we could link the designs to what the books are to make them more of a special thing to have and own. We looked at the layouts of screenplays themselves and how they are written. Most, the older ones for sure, are written on typewriters so after searching a lot of the campus and raiding other departments, we found one and started playing around to see what effects we could get. The idea behind it is to make them more unique as they are print on demand and with a typewriter, it's not like you can print something off exactly the same whenever you want.



We concentrated on trainspotting whilst using the typewriter so we didn't get overwhelmed with lots of different titles and authors etc, so when we moved onto the next (Taxi Driver) we thought how else we could make a simple design. For this we used some metal letterpress blocks. However, we didn't use them for printing, we laid them out on a table and took photos of them.
