40 Stories Book Design

In 2009, Toronto Christian Resource Centre (CRC) published 40 Stories. This memorable book, which includes 25 posters, honours the residents of 40 Oaks and the building itself—a bustling hub in Toronto’s Regent Park redevelopment. Design issues, the designer chose typefaces for the body text and headline allowing for a maximum word count per page in the golden section grid. 40 Stories is, primarily, general-interest publication. In overcoming the design challenge, art direction chose to make the text-heavy book appealing and universal by balancing words with contemporary, full-bleed photography, as well as by using a golden section grid design for the book structure and content presentation.
