THE PAGE92 The “birth and death” of the text

JUST AS WE ARE BORN AND WE DIE, so the text begins and ends. Mark these seminal events well; regard the text as a discrete entity and plan its unfolding as you would a lifetime. The birth and death of the text should be related to one another visually. Some of us lead boisterous, flamboyant lives; others, lives of quiet simplicity. As always, evaluate the nature of the content and make your typographic decisions accordingly.
