6 x 6 Book

Design a 6″x6″ book that contains the final designs all of your 6 x 6 projects. The book will proceed chronologically featuring the following:

  1. Cover – A dynamic new design using elements from the 6×6 projects with the following text: Graphic Design 2 / Keene State College / Fall 2014 / [your name]. Must use one of the five classic typefaces.
  2. Title page – The same information as above in a quieter arrangement
  3. Project Titles – An interstitial page for each project. All project titles must be visually similar in typeface, color and complexity/simplicity.
  4. Project Pages – examples of each project at 100% bleeding off the page. Each composition must be set in facing pages to the others. Choose works that compliment and contrast each other for each spread.
  5. Colophon – 300-400 words on the last recto page that describes what you have learned (or not learned) by doing these assignments. Be candid and thorough in your response, citing specific projects and your response to them.
