Research for Book Covers

Solzhenitsyn research

Screen shots from Google image searches for Soviet graphic design:

Another screen shot, of Constructivist graphic design:

I particularly like Constructivism.  It was a design movement that started in the 20's and went on until the 1950s in Russia.  It was used extensively for propaganda for the Communist party who led the oppressive regime in power at this time. I like the strong typography and type on a diagonal.  Red, black and off white are the dominant colours which I would like to use.  The typefaces are strictly sans serif, which I will use.
