Critical Analysis

by J. Drucker

Design Features

typographic: Very straightforward, a small Garamond, I believe.

graphical: Headers, page numbers, text blocks, all quite conventional as presentation.

Critical Discussion

The texts are most interesting, and the presentation only serves to put them cleanly forth. The works are creative fiction, somewaht surreal, somewhat magical, somewhat contemporary and news-event observational, highly subjective, interior in their site of conception and production.
