Simon suggested in my last tutorial to contact Fontsmith for some sample fonts presented in a type specimen booklet format. I found that they were quick to respond and after a few days I have received several samples on varying in how they presented their font to the audience. I have found that printed specimen books are highly visual pieces that rely on their aesthetic and how the type is displayed in the layout to sell their product- less emphasis on the functions for each font. This has inspired me to look at different folds and binding methods which I could possibly use within my own design. As I aim to make the website the key piece for distribution I need the booklet to be small so it can be quickly produced. These sources have shown me that I can quickly achieve a high quality result with innovative use of layout, striking use of bold contrasting colours and large display of quotes/written copy- all something to now consider. Need to keep legibility in mind at all times to follow the principles of type I have research for my written element.
