ADI - Book Design Elements

Books with design elements that I like:



  • The Americans by Robert Frank - even pages are blank (focus on one page at a time), titles on even pages, all B&W 
  • William Eggleston's Guide - opening 16 pages of text are on green paper, main pages are bright-white, very first image invites you in, odd pages are blank, title and page number are on opposite page, photo page only photo, landscape- eye-level suits the image, portrait - direction suits the image, image titles are just places with maybe year
  • Gregory Crewdson, 1985-2005 - large format, german/english text, chapter openings in blue/grey, small thumbnail opposite, plates only on odd pages, white margins
  • In Flagrante by Chris Killip - all B&W, sometimes image spreads two pages, sometimes four images over two pages
