Didot and Baskerville In Use


For this blog, I am finding examples of the fonts, Didot and Baskersville. Which I am using in the project I am working on.


This cover used baskerville well because of how the how the type is balanced in the center. 


 This cover uses Baskerville well because of the use of negative space and asymmetry.




This cover only uses a small amount of a Baskerville, but overall the use of type is really good. The type is off-centered and the variation of type isn't distracting, or takes away from the cover.


 This cover uses Baskervill is a simple and bold way. Your eye immediately goes to the biggest thing, and then moves down the cover. The text is bottom heavy which is good, and the contrast of the dark green and white is effective.





This cover uses the type really well. The type interacts with the images, and blocks of color leads you eye around the cover. Even though most of the text is centered, its still a very successful cover


This cover uses type in a good way because of the asymmetry of the larger type on the left side. The contrast of size and color also adds to the success of the layout.


 This cover is simple and but effective. Its not all about the text.


This cover is all about the text. Your attention ges straight to the big Y in the corner, but then your eye goes to the title. Its simple but bold.

I really like this cover because the white type is subtle but contrasting with the red background. The asymmetry in addition to having the type and the image sort of balance each other out make this a good cover.

This cover is successful because of a few things. It has good contrast with color and size. The white text pops off the page and the pink is a nice touch.
