Emigre No. 70


With the limited experience I have in design, I often like to start by looking for inspiration from various art/design books. As I peruse the personal book collection that I have been building for the past year, I am finding the "Emigre No. 70" lookback issue especially inspiring.

While the content of the book is not digital (it is a compilation of past print work by the Emigre Magazine), the layout of text is amazingly dynamic. The use of the spatial plane, oblique directions, contrast of text sizes, and the juxtaposition of different typefaces can be sourced as inspiration for the execution of our first project.

I guess being inspired is easy... it's really about the delivery, isn't it? (Maybe I should put this one down and pick up a Flash tutorial instead).
