Module 4 Sketches
I chose Leonard Bernstein as the subject for my book design. I have uploaded sketches for 3 separate concepts. Leonard Bernstein was a famous modern American composer, conductor, musician, author, lecturer and pianist. He is famed for writing many pieces of chamber, modern classical, opera, and theatrical pieces to include the scores for West Side Story, Candide, and many other classical pieces performed by the famed New York Philharmonic. Leonard Bernstein grew up in the East Side of NYC. I thought the title "From East Side to West Side" was an appropriate title to encompass his life from his childhood on the east side to the popularity of the famed West Side Story- however after re-reading the instructions for the assignment, I see we were simply supposed to use the name of the musician as the title of the book, so I may have to deviate from concept sketches. I hope to delve a bit deeper in font choices for this project which is why I noted specific fonts that I am considering for the book. I also would like to play a bit with black and white tones. I also think it will be an appropriate play on themes to use some simple style for a book about a man who wrote some phenomenally complex classical pieces. Looking forward to your feedback.
