THE ILLUSTRATIVE TITLE PAGE
The titlepage may present the necessary information but may also contain secrets, coding and pictures in rich structures. Altogether they present the basic proposition of what you are about to encounter in the book itself - a sortof title sequence in the one image. In recent years they have become tediously simple and prosaic with the possible exception of children's books. |
