The above left page was the most difficult to design, I didn't even consider designing it in the first few days of the project, then realised that too late that it was uneven and unpleasant to look at. I was pleased with the contents page and the overall editorial strategy throughout the book, however it was mentioned at the crit that within the main body of text I could have lessened the leading of the typeface, something which I hadn't considered until it was described as 'stripey'. This really helped me understand the concept of density of text, that it must be looked at as a texture rather than individual lines on the page. 

Moreover, having recently read Eric Gill's An Essay on Typography, I noted the point made about the bottom margin being bigger than the top in order to leave room for the reader's hand to hold the book whilst not obscuring the text at the bottom of the page. I found this an interesting concept which I hadn't considered before, allowing me to ponder what more could be done to increase the reader's comfort whilst reading. 

The Typography project was the one in which I have learned the most throughout Units Three and Four about design concepts such as density of text, the grid, history of typefaces and text hierarchy. I have taken the comments from the final crit and redesigned specific pages.
