PerdueEmma_Textbook
For my project, I chose to go for a modern textbook look. I wanted something clean and simple that was easy to read. I was working with Akzidenz Grotesk (varying regular medium and bold) as my typeface which is sort of a default for me - I'm looking for suggestions in terms of typeface. I maybe would like to push my comfort zone and work with a serif.
I also was having some issues with hierarchy and placement, and I'm not yet happy with the look of the timeline.
Great job. The mood board needs to include and identify your type choices and a discussion of the strength of the selections. The spread is beautiful. The Timeline title can be dropped (as is the case for everyone). Identify the World and the U.S. Consider less space (width) for the timeline. There is considerable negative space that does not balance as well as it could given that the image is a tad crowded with title treatment over it. Consider moving the image to the right a bit keeping the same frame. The type under the section heads seems a bit small. Try printing it to check readability. The reader might benefit from a bit more of your color palette included in the opening spread.
