Serifs and \u2018exotic\u2019 (Gothic, Coptic, etc.) fonts are favourites of mine, and Caslon employed both of these elements in his typographic designs. I\u2019m consistently searching for new information in my daily life, and this made the process of researching for this project enjoyable. I learned a lot about British and American history, as well as typography. William Caslon was born in 1692, which means not a lot of colours made it to the shelves. I decided to follow a limited colour palette for my composition, and instead focus on the geometric and informative aspects of the typeface itself. The colours I did use are reminiscent of traditional printmaking colours. Using a micron pen, I was able to give a similar feel to printing press pages. This assignment took me a lot longer than I anticipated, but I am satisfied with the result. I would give myself a 9.5\/10, losing marks for the messier areas of colouring, although this is mostly due to marker colour bleeds and smooth paper not taking pencil crayon well. The formatting of my pages is engaging and full of information. Almost every illustration is accurate to historical documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-1024x700.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-1024x700.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-300x205.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-768x525.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-1536x1051.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-2048x1401.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/EA8EFC55-CF0B-402A-A44B-622345C219DC-1200x821.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>My first two pages focus on William Caslon&#8217;s background and the beginning of his typeface career.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-1024x657.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-1024x657.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-300x193.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-768x493.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-1536x986.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-2048x1315.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/B2814073-9F9C-4707-9F15-70F843941A62-1200x770.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>These two are my favourites; a comparison of Janson, Caslon, and Baskerville typefaces, and my rendering of a print of the original Caslon Foundry building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-1024x659.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-1024x659.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-300x193.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-768x494.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-1536x988.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-2048x1318.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tobineckstein\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11640\/2020\/10\/3B26F3AE-EC2A-4B28-BFB9-8EC29BA6B970-1200x772.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>The last couple pages show the original and modern uses of the Caslon typeface.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I chose to create a zine about William Caslon and his still successful serif typeface: Caslon.
