The City Of New York - Type Specimen Book


Here is my Type Specimen Book. I picked Wikipedia's entry for New York City as text and then created everything in InDesign.

I used the following typefaces:

Serif: Adobe Jenson Pro, Adobe Caslon Pro, Century Old Style, Minon Pro.
Sans-Serif: Helvetica, Helvetica Neue, Trade Gothic, Frutiger, Myriad.

I also worked on the "Rear Window"-Poster. This time I took my own picture. This is how it looks like when you look outside my apartment's rear window :-) What do you guys think? Better than my first one?? I also used the same colors (b/w and red) that I used for "Psycho" and "The Birds" so it becomes a real series of posters now. By the way, this week Hitchock's movies are running on AMC, Channel 54.

Anyway... I am sick, so I won't see you guys in class...

Wohlsein! I hope you feel better…something is definitely going around.

I love the new poster much more! A great marriage of image and type! The type supports the vertical-upward direction of the rectilinear edifices, and shoots out of the picture plane; most unsettling!

like your pics better than the swipe.

fix the typography in the title.

the spacing is off.

and, maybe a little more interesting typography.
