Cantara Ali: Week 9

This is the novel Amnesia by Peter Carey, the cover was designed by Alex Kirby. The typeface is a very thin and light sans serif, with the author attribute in all-caps Garamond. The book's main themes focus on looking to the past at Australia and the U.S's political clashes in the late 20th century. The title alludes to how Australia promptly forgot the good the U.S had done their country in the past because of the U.S's transgressions. The type design is highly concept driven, the repeating letter forms remind the viewer of the nature of amnesia. The author's name fits neatly into the design without competing with anything else. I hope to make type designs that make such a strong connection in the future.
