Designing a booklet




I was asked to design and make a 16-page booklet on the theme of the word Glitch. I chose to show the theme of glitch by using electronic components and images as my inspiration. I make spelling and typing mistakes in the booklet to add to the glitch theme.

I chose to use the typefaces Prestige Elite Std for the many body of text and Synchro LET for the headers and bolder type in the magazine. Prestige Elite Std is a slab serif monospaced typeface originally designed for use on a typewriter. It was designed in 1953 by Howard Kettler for IBM. A monospaced font is where the height of the letter is the same as the width of the letter.
Synchro, created in 1984, and was quite a futuristic font when it was designed to reproduce the look of electronic display systems.
