CCA Confidential

I haven’t covered it much, but I am also enrolled in CCA’s History of Visual Communications class. The midterm was an essay, but with a twist. The highest grade a person could get is a B, if they just hand it in on normal paper. To get an A, it must be designed.

For my paper, I decided to write on Herbert Bayer’s argument for the complete abandonment of the uppercase alphabet. At first I thought the topic would be difficult to research, but as it turns out, Bayer is a prolific writer, and there are several good books about him.

Here are pictures I have just taken of the design of my book. This was the very first time I had ever hand bound a book.

Unfortunately the professor marked his corrections in ink, in the rest of the book. But I did get an -A.
