Wrenched this book from a fellow designer and worked on it with the deadline round the corner. Enjoyed this cover. Read up on cinema in the process and watched Citizen Kane.
The close-up photographs are compelling. Alas, the type is all wrong. The worst Crime against Typography (ref. Ellen Lupton) is the use of Chicago as the primary word in the title, "Cinema." this font was created for use on screen only for early versions of the Mac operating systems. It is clunky and homely in print, and bears no conceptual relationship to film.
Thanks for the coment. the type is all wrong is it? Hhmm will look at it again. was'nt aware about Chicago being created for the screen. Actually was looking for a Face that was evocative of film. which typeface in your opinion would you rather be used? more on this later...
