Filling my mind with ideas, knowledge, smelling the musty smell of the book , and flipping through the pages one after another as if I had nothing else to do, but be engrossed in my book. I love reading. With that said, the book in this picture titled A PIECE OF CAKE may look like a book about something along the lines of cake? Cake= happiness. However bright this book is, the content is extremely sad and completely unrelated to the sweet desert, cake. The spacing in between the text on the cover is not consistent( manually adjusted kerning) nor are they structured as if on a line( not all on the baseline). The words look like they were just thrown on there, and scratched up a little. This is actually quite interesting, because how the letters appear and their placement on the cover, symbolize what the content is. The distorted typeface and spacing relates to the author Cupcake Brown and her particularly troubled childhood and transition into adulthood. Instead of flowing nicely, the typeface is very jagged and gives the title an edgy vibe. Overall, I love how bold the font is and it definitely captured me attention at Barnes & Noble. Although this autobiography is anything but a piece of cake, its a great read!
Feeling cozy in my vibrantly colored pajamas, tea, this great book, and a soundly sleeping puppy. This is my piece of cake.
