The Circle- Sam Popham

Source: Jessica Hische
Object Description: A book cover that I noticed on Jessica Hische's website. Has many intricate circles all woven together.
Typeface Description: Sans serif and bold and small caps. The first words 'the' and 'Dave' are smaller in size to the more important words like Circles. They are all slightly curved. Looks very neat and well planned out to match the symbols.
How will it influence me?: It inspires me to be very methodical in how I approach type and I will certainly learn from how centered it is and the hierarchy of the type.

The Rite of Spring | Andrea Johnson

This is a vinyl cover that my roommate has.

This is a sans serif typeface.

This is a vinyl cover for a classical composer's work, so the audience of this work is anyone who is interested in classical music, or anyone who is studying this piece or the conductor.

The Rite of Spring is a very famous song. It is dramatic, so the thick to thin lines of the typeface are very appropriate for representing the song. Also, the simple layout helps to communicate exactly what it is that we are looking at.

This inspires me to use typography to subtly hint at the topic I am covering. It acts as a sort of preface to the media.
