David Carson Zapf Dingbats
During idea generating, the idea of dividing the cover so that the right side is more dominating and the left, stuck out to me. I thought about ways of making the right side coded, to portray the premise of the book where Owen Jones decodes their ideas.
David Carson is known for a spread in a magazine that has an interview Carson thought was rubbish. He decided in putting the whole interview in Zapth Dingbats, a symbolic typeface. This means the interview is unreadable, but as published in this magazine to the public anyway.
This has given me the idea of using Zapth Dingbats or a similar typeface to show the right side as coded, and the left in a clear and readable typeface to show Owen Jones viewpoint and what the book about.
