Ancient+Manuscript+Design

** Sultan Baybars' Qur'an Text ** I was taken back as I began to peruse the ancient text. I had no idea of the details and style that was entailed. The design is so precise that it is more of a work of art than any religious material I have come in contact with. The artist was meticulous in all four design principles. There is evidence of contrast in the colors between lettering and background on every page. The repetition is created on each set of pages as they mirror one another. Many of the sets of pages have design qualities that repeat from top to bottom, and some have graphics that are on both pages. Both ways lend a nice quality to the pages. The pages are aligned on all four sides of the graphics or text. When text and graphics occur there is evidence of alignment around the inner portion and outer portion. Great detail has been made to ensure that all aspects of these manuscripts are aligned meticulously. The graphics throughout the text are in appropriate proximity to the text. They lend to the aesthetic appeal and only add to the manuscript’s beauty. The author(s) used fine details and beautiful graphics to make readers aware of the fact that the manuscript was of great importance. There are pages of graphics, pages of text, and pages of both. All three varieties were created with such care as to attend to every detail.
