The Stations of the Cross Booklet

•

objective For this project, the objective was to design a 5.5”x8.5” type-dominant chapbook which needed to be bound in our choice. The overall book needed to have between 12 to 20 pages and a cover. The typography needed to have a mixture of traditional typography while still being relevant in typography as of when it was being designed.

solution When brainstorming what to have my chapbook based on, I decided on creating a personal copy of The Living Stations of the Cross prayer booklet, allowing me to design something not usually done. Due to the booklet being used during the Catholic season of Lent, it led me to use the color of the season, purple. I wanted to keep the layout neatly laid out, so I opted to incorporate a somewhat larger, purple-colored, serif font, Roman numeral, at the top of the pages, sitting above the title, that is set similarly, but smaller. The body text is set in a sans-serif font, colored black, while the lead-ins or parts telling who reads and the hymns at the bottom are set in purple. Behind all the text is an illustrated image that correlates to the page.
