Ancient Manuscripts

Ancient manuscripts are not so ancient. They are the cornerstone of today’s art and graphic design alike. My first impression, as I flipped through the virtual pages, was astonishment. The great use of colors and details were magnificent.

The use of the four principles of design, throughout the book, was evident. Contrast-There is the use of enlarged, colorful titles and graphics to divide the sections. Splashes of colored fonts are used throughout the text. Cool colors are used on a warm colored background. Repetition-As stated previously, the use of enlarged, colorful titles and graphics to divide the sections is used continuously throughout the book. The same text font was used. Alignment-Justify (block) is used as alignment. Proximity-To group or show variants in the text a different color was used. The authors/artists used many techniques to denote importance.

The author used colored, enlarged letters at the beginning of certain words. In addition, graphics were placed within the text.
