Typography: Ode to Baskerville

If Baskerville were to design for me

My design for Baskerville

Assignment: Research John Baskerville and create two designs using only his created fonts. The first is if Baskerville were to create a typographical piece about me. The second is reversed.

Explanation: Baskerville used simple and elegant elements in his typographic work. I Tried to maintain this style in the first piece. In my design for him, I chose to use a design typical of his, and smear an overlay of an insanity that reflects his personal life -- a juxtaposition I loved working with.
