Typographic Workbook
The type workbook is a series of investigations. The content ranges from typographic studies to typesetting rules in typography. It is a time-intensive project that requires a lot of attention to detail. The workbook should hold together as one document. There are different types of information to be "displayed".
Through the use of quirky illustrations and subtle word play, Awkword: Typography for the Socially Ineptexplores and breaks down the rules of typography with a lax enough attitude to show that they can (and should) be broken.

Judges Choice: "Awkword was well written and well designed. The features were memorable, but even more memorable was the attention to detail. Page numbers, captioning, folios, body copy, headlines ... it was all closely considered and appropriately dispatched, which is rare for a student project. This is professional work." – AIGA A11 Judge: Jennifer Kinon - Founder of Champions for Design
