Brief
Typography is governed by the visual dynamics of contrast and tension: black and white, light and dark thick and thin, large and small. The qualities arising from these attributes challenge the eye, provide resonance, guild the reader through the information, and invite active participation in the communication process. You design should be completed in black and white and include the title the Australian Journal of Contemporary Art Criticism. This is no 5 and the design should use this number so that it cropped and enlarged to fill the page. To avoid any confusion with the reader the word five should also be used. As a general rule extremely condensed typefaces are more difficult to read. The cover should be an A4 cover however it will be folded in half and clearly your design should be on the front. You should consider the spine of the journal which is one centimetre wide and the back cover [ are parts of the front cover design also part of the back cover design.
