Book Project

Homework

 * 1) Create a draft "Visual Style Guide"* (see Lupton 134); it should include the major hierarchical elements of your text with type appropriately styled for each of those types of element. Upload it in PDF format to your workspace AND print a copy for me. Note, this does not have to resolve all of your page-design issues -- but should indicate how you are going to deal with distinctions in kinds of text. [* I'm calling this a "**Visual** Style Guide;" I added "visual" so that we wouldn't confuse it with the editing "Style Sheet" that records decisions about mechanics and usage.]
