With reference to my book, I want to investigate the relationship between gender through unofficial Harley Davidson typefaces.
"Design and Content need to go hand in hand, like a perfect dance. Sometimes there is too much design and not enough content..."
"You need to be open and reinvent what a book can be"
"The content is a source of inspiration from itself"- Adrian Shaunessy, Unity Publications representative of content
'Every book starts with a idea: Notes for designers', an Amanda Mevis essay taken from a collection within The Form of a Book Book'. A publication inspired by Jan Tshiolds 'The Form of a Book'.
The overall tone of the book is a gentle guide designed to get the viewer to self-analyse. Mevis makes strong statements throughout. "All books tell stories about why or how they are designed", is my story good or interesting? Is there a way to make the publication interesting for people unaware of motorbikes or Harley culture.
This all lead me to think what I actually wanted to achieve from this brief. I'd ideally like to work up to a small income from design work alongside freelance, especially relevant with such a targetable and researched target audience. By making the publication as commercially viable and high quality as possible, I could perhaps work up to pitching to distribution channels.
