For this project, I wanted to use a max of two colors besides black and white. So I choose red and orange. As for the layout of this project I wanted it to be clean and easy to read. Images I want to use as little color images as possible and more black and white photos since I feel there more timeless and would work better. The font I chose two: Utopia and Garamond since there more legible and easy to read.
For the chapter-opening, I used the two typefaces I originally picked and played around with text size a lot while figuring out the layout. As for the image I chose one that showed movement and was colorful to illustrate that it was an excellent opportunity that many people during that time.
Your research and mood board are both terrific and clear but the type choices seem in conflict. One serif (Utopia) has sharp serifs and the other is rounder; you might look at a few other combos. They are both beautiful by themselves. Beautiful color palette as well. The chapter headline type will run across the pages (into the binding fold) and not be readable, so take that into consideration. Also the Timeline "World" and "United States" need to be labeled and distinguished. I appreciate that you have the page numbers included!
