A book that I found that had an interesting use of typography and organizational layout was Snoop Dogg’s cookbook, “From Crook to Cook”. The table of contents is designed very unconventionally compared to other traditional table of contents. The titles of each chapter use a mix of a very traditional, royal serif font for the first letter and a clean sans serif font for the rest of the phrase. It’s a very odd combination but works well with the overall personality and tone of the book and helps to portray the voice that Snoop Dogg brings to his book. The headings for the chapter names (i.e. Introduction, Chapter 1, etc.) are in a small bold sans serif font that helps draw attention to itself but not enough so it takes away from the actual title. The layout of the list is not in any tradition chart/grid format, however displayed across the spread to fill the page and interact with each other through spacing. The background colors are also muted and light that help draw the attention to the font and not disrupting the reader.
