Design Principle

My impression over these ancient works was how elegant these designs were. It was very organized and typeface was very clear. The print was very dark, not at all faded.  Despite the fact these books were designed and created before all the technology that we have now, is amazing. The writings showed strength with its type-font thickness, the alignment of the page was very consistent and it flowed. Even though it was going in the same direction, it was still interesting to look at. There was a page I saw, where there was red font in a different size that sort of separated the information but, yet it was done in appropriate manner. There is  obvious repetition being used here in the (3) examples shown below. There is evidence of proximity being used as far as the information is written is concern but, many pictures weren’t used and if it was it was  usually on a separate page. The author/artist used a lot of contrast, alignment and repetition when writing the bible as you can see below.
