Description: Redesign a book cover jacket for Meggs’ History of Graphic Design. Develop full-size versions including front, back, flaps and spine to the proportions. Create type dominant, image dominant, and type and image balanced compositions. My solutions included using a plethora of typefaces from throughout the history of design, as well as photos from throughout the history. The colors are based on colors that are essential to design everywhere.
