Assignment # 2 - Informational - Evaluation Criteria
The Evaluation Criteria of Design lends
to the readability and delightfulness of this book about Tony Sarg’s life
as the mastermind behind the floats in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The author/illustrator of this book used some
of the pictures from Tony Sargs own
book The
Tony Sarg
Marionette Book. Ms. Sweet made toys and puppets that she used
to help her with the illustration process.
The type face and fonts on many of the pages also give you the feeling
of an old fashioned type setting machine which brings the 20s and 30s time
period to life.
