Marie Watt: Almanac - pp. 08-09
Curator’s introduction, showing at left a detail of one of Ms. Watt’s blanket towers, which range from eight to thirty feet in height. Here you can see the type resting on two baselines: one near the bottom of the page, reserved for the main narrative and one about a third from the top, for captions and other didactic content. Headlines hang below the top baseline to draw the two areas together and trigger the figure/ground relationship between the type area and the pale background tint, which is both an organizational tool and a nod to the stripe proportions on trade blankets.
