Shortly after choosing the book series redesign project and choosing the set of books labeled drugs, I immediately began to think of using a distressed typeface. To explore this idea I found a distressed font in my library called Hand Cancelled by Hoefler Type Foundary. Although I like this typeface it has a live traced look. I plan on making my own distressed type via photocopying, unless for some reason I decide not to go with the distressed look, too cliche perhaps? Naw, I like the distressed look and it seems fitting to the subject matter. So Below are some mock ups. I wanted to explore using distressed type and some textural imagery. The imagery is strong but I am going to work on it some more and see where it goes. I aim to focus more on the type in order to make the type stronger/more dominant. I had fun making these and am liking where this project is headed so far. As of now I am making the covers 9.5 x 6.25 in. So this is where I'm at, so far. I gotta start thinking about the spine and back too.
