I (loosely) based my Typography spread on my Congested Final from exercise two. (Pictured below)
I like how the type in this final separates the white space on each side of the composition. In order to work it into my double page spread, and show a comparison between old and new, I decided to instead make the type at each side of the page (with an area of empty space in the middle to divide them), as opposed to the middle with empty space at the sides.
For my spread I decided to continue the idea of congestion, but divided the old and new sides with an un-congested space in order to contrast the themes more effectively.
I used different fonts which I thought were symbolic of old and new for each side to show their contrast. I also used words (which are synonyms for old and new) instead of sporadic lettering and congested them in a style aesthetic which I thought flowed with its corresponding theme.
I used imagery of parchment and a cityscape in the background which overlapped in the middle to further divide the two themes.
