As an assignment for class, we were to design the layout for a complete script. Drawn to the aesthetics of the 1950s and because I have seen the musical numerous times, I chose Guys & Dolls.

The challenge this project presented was to successfully showcase the tone and emotion of

the play only through typography. A lot of time was spent between the computer and the printer, trying out various typefaces with different sizes. Eventually I decided upon Futura because of its simple but whimsical tone.

I thoroughly enjoyed being consumed by this project. My layout, while reminiscent of typical scripts, has variations that allow the typeface to speak and the tone of the story to be visible. The cover design uses stock images combined with a typographic element, accurately portraying not only Guys & Dolls but also the importance of typography within the project.
