PROJECT BRIEF:
Transform a chaotic compilation of images, and text into a typographic system that was more digestible, functional, and dynamic.
MY TAKE:
While the initial content was disorganized, and confusing to follow, a redesign of The Scientific Study of Unidentify Flying Objects by Edward. U. Condon was conducted.
The design was inspired by the UFO sighting caught on camera. One of the images was taken as inspiration for the design of the cover- a clean, simple version of the screen of a radar. The color black was applied to portray a mysterious concept. Bits of information found on the screen were used as part of the navigation system to guide and make the readers feel part of the case. It was a challenge trying to fit all the copy and images into a 300-page book or less. Playing with an asymmetrical layout was the key. It made the design more active and interesting while adding complexity between elements.
WHAT I LEARNED:
Choosing the right paper is one of the most important elements during the process of a project, as it can influence many aspects of the final product.
