80 hours—8 separate text designs—text, columns,
quotes, subquotes, poetry, etc.—Luiz's book is the first
look into Frederick Sommer's Brasilian years. Its joy is the
use of extended quotes by Fred about those years—and
if the book has a fault it is that there were not a thousand
more such pages. Fred was a marvelous talker and raconteur.
Saying this, I know, Luiz will pull his hair in frustration
because much of their conversations and all of Luiz's initial
drafts were written in Portuguese. |

Book Design:
|
The text
had a great deal of layering—commentary, extended quotes,
extended sub quotes. We decided that the best way to assist
the reader was to give each level of quote a distinct look.
The book has a low aspect ratio enabling the various styles
to stand out without ever having overly narrow columns of
text. The intent, too, was to give the Frederick Sommer quotes
room to breath, as if he were speaking. |
