About this Project

B&W Garamond Page
I must say this page was a nice mellow process. That's not to say it was not helpful. Quite the contrary as this was the first tracing paper that featured san serif type. With that said I definitely have familiarized myself with san serif typefaces a lot more.
This page was very tedious however, I believe it served a great purpose in teaching about drop caps and body text. In addition, this page features a Flush left-ragged right paragraph alignment and I feel that tracing it helped me become comfortable with the layout.

I began my project by completing what I thought to be the most challenging one first. In hindsight, I believe throwing myself straight into the fire served to be beneficial to the sequential pages.
