Górecki 3

December 2008 / Typography / Book design

—
A booklet designed to accompany a recording of Górecki's Third Symphony. Abstract typography and dark paper stock convey the abstract, brooding nature of the music; European typefaces ground the typography in the music's cultural context.

Printed CMYK on 180gsm Tiziano Anthracite stock. The M & Y inks, despite being printed on dark paper, appear to give off strange light due to their slight fluorescent qualities.
