Garry Barker : Traditional Aesthetic

I was glad to learn that Garry is an appreciator of the traditional 'style.' I have been wanting to use ornaments and decorative features for a project for a while, and now it seems we will have the chance, if it works.  So I scanned some designes from some good old books to find some examples of decorative ornamental design.  Both for features and also potentially book overs.









Also the paragraph spacing and justification of the type makes for a tidy and rigid form on each page.  This structure will act well as a contrast to the loose sketched style of Garry work.  It will also be neatly help togethet by any ornamental rulers should we choose to use them
