Write and design a 700 word pictorial essay on two to three A3 pages on any historical character, typographical innovation or significant technological development during the period starting with the Cave drawings to the period of Art Nouveau.
Design Outcome
I have chosen Johann Gutenberg. The pictorial essay pages were created in the style of Gutenberg's beloved and infinitely magnificent achievement of "Gutenberg Bible."
The old paper texture was created using a piece of A4 cartridge paper and a cotton ball soaked in coffee :) After the paper dried, I ironed it to get the waves out and scanned it in. I then used Photoshop to blow up the image to A3 size.
The floral illustrations were rendered using gouache and color pencils. The font used for the body text is Goudy Text.
