Narrator: Neddy




Neddy is the main character's older brother. He is quieter, more docile, and more artistic. In his spare time he draws maps and writes poetry. As the closest in age of the 6 brothers and sisters of Rose, he is the one in charge of keeping an eye on her.



For all of the narrators, I wanted to keep the spacing even and easy to read. The narrators all have every different perspectives, and so I wanted the consistency of the even spacing, white space, and borders (in the tradition of storybooks).

Neddy's font is Georgia. I chose Georgia for Neddy because it's more traditional and less bold Modern or Sans Serif styles, but isn't as heavy as an Old Style or Slab Serif font. Georgia is a very readable and stable font, with bracketed serifs and a large x-height.

The sentences are centered to look more like poetry. I've also broken up the paragraphs so that the pages are more conversational in tone.
