Mingei International Museum Book

Overview

This book requires students to creatively design a set of elements in different formats and criteria. By exploring hierarchy, font, and grid, students create 25 unique layouts demonstrating fundamental type skills. With the subject of the Mingei International Museum, this project seeks to create interesting layouts to these criteria: bold and oblique, scale, axis, graphic elements, and image section.
