RESEARCHING - SPECIMEN BOOKS

Before submission i decided to look at some specimen books to see how they lay there work out.

This typeface has been placed on a landscape page and split in half i think it works well and has impact.

This fold out poster features lots of different elements of the typeface that has been designed.

Full specimen book displaying weight on this page-

I really like the way this specimen book has been presented also the binding method used.

This particular book has lots of different weights displayed-

Further examples-

A lot of the specimen books i have looked at are very precise the problem with our typeface is it only comes in one size and weight as its hand drawn so this practical style of distribution wouldnt be appropriate for Beth & my work. I'm glad i have researched into them as we can still take elements from it and inspiration for our submission boards.
