The graphic design rule book will be a hand made book featuring hand rendered illustrative type with inspiring quotes and rules/tips for the aspiring graphic designer (target audience - graphic design degree students). I will also consider the packaging of the book, and other products that could be included.
This brief would be a skills driven brief, where I could mix my need to learn more about typography with my existing interest and skills in image based design. The book would allow me to improve my Publishing and editorial & Product and packaging skills.

Rationale
An editorial design based investigation of illustrative type with a focus on graphic design rules for aspiring designers.
Statement of Intent
I am going to create a graphic design rulebook because I want to mix my interests with illustration and type in a brief that allows me to work on both of these skills, and because there is a gap in the market for a book for graphic design students which is useful, but still looks attractive.
