Aalto: form + function
An aspect of the Typography course at JCCC includes a Design History project - the end result being a full book design and print. We were given several designers as options from which to choose, but Aalto was the unique option I was drawn to. Alvar Aalto was a Finnish architect who had a profound impact on architecture, but also on Functionalism and modern design in general.

The link below will take you to a full working preview of the book at the site where the book was submitted for printing. The image below is a sample of the front cover and binding. I'm particularly proud of the cover design and how the title of the book interacts with the image.
