California Antiquarian Book Fair

This goal was to design a promotional poster for the California International Antiquarian Book Fair that highlights its focus on rare and antique books while clearly presenting essential event details. The concept centers on a stacked arrangement of vintage book spines, each functioning as an individual panel for information such as the event name, date, and location. Research into 18th- and 19th-century book bindings informed the color palette, typographic system, and decorative elements. Varying spine widths, hierarchical text placement, and filigree accents create visual flow and authenticity, guiding the viewer’s eye while reinforcing the antiquarian theme.
