As the books we produce will contain a lot of text and images, we looked at 'The Form Of The Book' by Jan Tschichold.
This book collates Tschichold’s essays on book design, written between 1941and 1975. Through these essays Tschichold provides a set of recommendations and do's and don'ts (in Tschichold's opinion) on how to produce books that are well-designed and historically grounded. The basic ingredients being the combination of text and image.
This presentation detailed 10 'rules' of Tschichold's regarding book design and I feel like it gave me a good idea of where to start and what to consider regarding the design and production of my own book. The rest of the presentation listed some useful books and examples that we could use to inform our practice.
