Sketches: Melchior A La Carte

One more for now. Sometimes, my ideas are not quite so fully formed, and I'll do two or three (or more!) thumbnail sketches to sort out ideas, on how and where type and photos or illustrations might be placed...

My original idea, to compensate for the lack of color images (and for the poor quality of many of the black-and white photographs) was to apply a subtle, but different color treatment to each of them.

But that didn't seem to go over as well as I'd hoped with the author, so I went in a different direction, one that was more simple and bold, based on a suggestion of his.


Now I think I ought to get back to work...
