Final Print

In the final print of the publication, the dust jacket no longer adopts the reversible cover idea. This felt like an afterthought forced to work into the publication's function. What the back cover does represent however still remains. 

On the back cover design, the compressed tracking of the copy removes the white space in between each letterform that would otherwise help it become identifiable. What makes the name 'isamu noguchi 1988 2018' readable are the counter forms that define its shape. This is significant as it points out the importance of the counterform in type design as mentioned by Willi Kunz and how the counterform in sculpture can add depth to physical space as seen in primary sketches of Barbara Hepworth's work. 

When bound together the overall publication feels like a solid artefact. The weight of the book, combination of brown, recycled and off white stock, thoroughly designed layout, content and most importantly selection of typographic sculptures come together to produce a professional looking publication. 

The idea to include fold out pages for these spreads did not end up in the final publication as to do double sided pages on A2 was not possible due to printer restrictions. This is where a professional publishing company would help if the book was made commercially.
