This is a book redesign for the type class. The original was not that bad, just lacking in something. It was a plain khaki-color background and utilized somewhere around five different typefaces - a design no-no. The only thing that it had going for it was a map that outlined the "lay of the land," physically. The back cover was very ordinary with the comments about the book in a typeface that was hard to read in such large blocks of text. The redesign I chose is in full color. I chose a darker color for the background to emphasize the dates that the book is centered around. That's also the reason I chose the typeface that I did. The map of TN has it's middle behind the name of the book and wraps around the cover and into the side flaps.
