Maybe that&#8217;s as it should be. I went to Barnes &amp; Noble and saw that many title pages were fairly simple; many followed the style from the cover.<\/p>\n<p>Also, at the time I created this, I thought we were limited to only using the fonts we are going to study in the class which includes Futura. That&#8217;s not the case, so in my updates, I found other fonts that I thought suited the title better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Round 2 &#8211; Incorporating Feedback<\/h3>\n<p>As of now, I chose 2 fonts that I thought were closer to the feeling of the book. Modern yet restrictive. I chose <em>Bebas Neue<\/em> and <em>Bauhaus 93<\/em>\u00a0with Futura as my fonts.<\/p>\n<p>Although I created a bit of a custom version of the numbers, 1984, in Bauhaus 93, to crop the &#8216;4&#8217; slightly, I prefer the longer &#8216;nineteen eighty-four&#8217;, which I saw in a few examples of the book. It just seemed more polished and finished. I&#8217;m undecided if I will use a version with extra space between the title and the author. The publisher is still in Futura.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2588\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2588\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2588\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2588\" src=\"http:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-6-232x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-6-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-6-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-6-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-6-1200x1553.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 85vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2588\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Updated 1984, using Bauhaus and Futura.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2589\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2589\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2589\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2589\" src=\"http:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-9-232x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-9-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-9-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-9-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-9-1200x1553.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 85vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Updated Nineteen Eighty-Four in Bebas Neue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2590\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2590\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2590\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2590\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2590\" src=\"http:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-10-232x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-10-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-10-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-10-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/alliwalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1984_Option-1-copy-10-1200x1553.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 85vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nineteen Eighty-Four with Bebas Neue, with the extra space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having looked at them side by side, I think I may go with the version with the extra space between the title and the author.
