This is a fabulous set. Thanks for turning us on to it. I may very well have used this on my favorite type-setting/design job. I used the font the client had already on her business collateral and it worked very well- but I really like this Verlag font for the same or similar application.

The layout was a very large introductory museum brochure featuring M. Castano's Textile Art- the images are on my gallery at Graphics.com:
Full inside: http://graphics.com/modules.php?full=1&set_albumName=album366&id=inner1100&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php

Back Cover:
http://graphics.com/modules.php?full=1&set_albumName=album366&id=backpiece&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php

You can see how the Verlag would work well here as well.

Thank you for sharing your work with us, the red of the background and the reversed out text looks very striking, well done.

Thank you all.
I laughed when I read the 'traditional' remark. When I was designing it we all had the jitters that it was too flamboyant. Here is why..
It seems traditional if viewing it as a brochure for the public. But this brochure went to various museum directors and boards as an introductory piece for the artist, whose work was to be exhibited.

99% of these introductory brochures being produced for this purpose are basically artists pictures on white or solid background- very simply arranged in various ways. This artist, my client, decided to actually step out of this traditional mold and present something with a bit of color and flair.
So actually for the purpose of the piece, this was considered very bold and 'non-traditional' within the context and common use. In the end though- the artist got a lot of fabulous feedback and was very well received. One director told her he usually tosses the brochures after review- but that he was keeping hers.
