When trying to write my agreement form for
my final project, I researched areas I’ve always found interesting such as
layout, design and typography as well as user experience design and information
architecture. My background is mainly in print and this has inspired me to explore the
possibilities that the web and eBooks offer to readers of printed material. How
can their experience be enhanced by technology without disrupting the emotional
and psychological associations created by printed materials?
Fully Booked: Ink On Paper dives into book
covers design with examples from Carolie Brickford Smith with her Clothbound
Classics Series. Fully Booked displays fantastic examples of printed book
covers, which could be transferred to screen, to specific extracts of the book
to enhance the eReaders experience. Ellen Lupton, in Thinking with Type,
describes how technology shapes the design of typographic space with the
flexibility and constraints offered by digital media. Typography can give
language a physical body and therefore enable the authors message to be
described in the way they visualise it.
