This was inspired and based on Chinese Seals, the beautiful typographical elements usually overshadowed by the calligraphic works that they adorn. I drew "seals" to denote days of the week, month and year in a Brush Script-esque style. While I used a six column grid, I aligned the content and numbers vertically to reflect the Chinese aesthetic and layout of characters.
This cover was to encompass all styles of typography. I used a tone-on-tone background pattern of a wide sampling of writing and type, from cuneiform to the Rosewood display font. The title is done in a 45 degree tilt of the letters in the word typography as plucked out of line in alphabetical rows.
