I am a complete bibliophile. I just got home because I was in the library for so long. So while thumbing through Paula Sher's "Make it Bigger," I saw a piece she did entitled Great Beginnings. It is a small booklet that she made to send out to potential employers [self promotional] that incorporated the beginnings of famous books in the type style popular at the time of it's publication. Like Faust in Blackletter and the Metamorphosis in a futurist's style.
It was one of those moments where I thought gosh why didn't I think of that first? And then realized I was like four when she made that so I can only wish that she hadn't thought of it and then I would have thought of it first. It is a project I would have a lot of fun doing because the content is so meaningful to me.
Anyways, check it out "Make it Bigger" by Paula Sher. She also did the logo for Citi Bank and she does interesting stuff with every style of font.
