Process

Before the final version, there were many trails and errors. I've changed direction on the project three times because some of the systems and themes just didn't work out. The colors that I've end up using are subtle and cool.

The theme of the book is based upon the era when William Caslon came from, the late Baroque and Rococo.

Illustrator Art & Glyphs

The art was all custom made using basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator. I referenced objects from the 17th century which would be common in William Caslon's home.
