Overview
This Project required a comprehensive tracing of three different pages. The source image is featured on the left and the right is traced on tracing paper. In this example, you can see indications for margins, columns, bleeds, crop marks, and lightly traced baselines and meanlines. Then we were to trace over all of the type as carefully as possible.

Page 1

Original Title Page

Traced: This is the least busy page out of the three. However, it made it that much more crucial to be as precise as possible.

Page 2

Original Page 2

Traced: The most challenging page by far. The text was tiny and there are a lot of details in the assignment to watch for such as varying tints, which type to trace and which to indicate only.

Page 3

Original Page 3

Traced: By this page, I started to get the hang of things and really just enjoyed the project. There are varying tints indicated as shown in the original page. It was interesting to note the extreme differences from Roman to Italic.
