A prominent project assigned to us by our design teacher Herbert Spencer was the design, printing, and binding of an entire book, using essays of great typographers. I have high standards for design and I took my work on the book very seriously. These are authoritative essays, and I felt their book must appear authoritative. However, I also know that readers learn best by commenting, and a good textbook should encourage both respect and active defacement in the form of scribbled notes. I decided to create a design that would satisfy both reader needs.		I created a design that was aesthetically pleasing, and included on each consistently-structured page three distinct textual regions. These assigned space for the original text, my own substantial commentary as editor, and an invitingly empty area for reader and owner. This was therefore a design for three different stakeholders - the writer, the editor, and the owner of the book. jackbeaton at gmail.com | 717.404.5782
