Book Design:
The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
The purpose of this project was to gather all the basic principles of typography and redesign a portion of a novel.
I started my research by looking to existing texts for inspiration. To make sure I don’t limit creativity I looked through novels, magazines, and even textbooks to understand a wide range of layouts. There were many elements of these layouts I researched, but I only needed a few of those elements to portray “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”.
Required Elements:
book title, author's name, page numbers, text frames, typographic illustrations, overflowing illustrations across a spread, negative space on pages, paragraph breaks for quotes, front and back covers
base vector art used for landscape and cityscape illustration from vecteezy.com
