The task was to redesign an existing Hungarian book series – cover design for three books and total concept and layout for one. I worked on a small series dedicated to architects.

My choice for this project helped me a lot, for this book on József Kerényi published in the ’90s had a great deal to improve. My aim was to create a clear and elegant layout, with structured content and light look.

The major problem I noticed is that there is no decent structure and order in the content. I specified distinct categories of text, chose fonts and variations for them, defined grid, styles and hierarchy and everything to my best.

I kept it a bit minimal with the font choice Minion and Myriad. These two were capable of all features I needed, including legibility and different styles, OpenType functionality. 

Page proportion is wide to fit all different text columns and different shaped images. I made it middle sized, so it's not a heavy album, but still able to showcase works.  

The cover design is simple and straightforward. One that does not age with trends. A matt grey paper with big type printed in white and simplified vector graphics.
