The design stages of this brief allowed for the development of a modular grid, allowing for a consistent structure throughout the book, but also the room to manoeuvre typing away that offers obscurity and therefore complements the surrealist nature of the images without taking away from. The tradition is type Baskerville was decided on due to the fact that it complemented the exterior of the book in contrast against the modern sleek style of the interior, once again further representing surrealist nature. This type could also be manipulated in many different ways through the use of weighting and kerning in order to create different styles of fonts, four different styles were set in use consistently throughout the book to offer further visual coherence and bring together the multiple styles of images as one body of work.
Typographic choices were also considered on pages which did not include images creating visuals that seemed surrealistic in nature due to their un-natural method of presentation.
The format of the book was in A5 to resemble the size of traditionalist book as previously researched.
