Tools
Create an 8 page magazine consisting of a cover page, contents, editors letter, departments page, and two double page feature spreads, on the subject of typography. _________________________________________________________________________________________
The concept for this design was to display past and current trends in typography and design; a curation of text and image. The target audience aims at ages 18-35, and those who work in a creative field, or anyone with a passion for design. My design solution explores layering and combing a mixture of type to showcase a range of typefaces and how they interplay. I utilised a baseline grid system to organise and present my information and contents. _________________________________________________________________________________________

Design a four page spread utilising a 13 pt modular baseline grid typographic system. All text must lock to the baseline grid, to create a cohesive design exploring layout.

The outcome for this design combined several modular formats consisting of a range of rows and columns, to create varied design components, and to explore scale whilst operating within a grid system. Colour has been placed intentionally to draw focus onto featured areas, and break up areas of the page for an easier, and more interesting overall viewing experience. _________________________________________________________________________________________

Design a poster that illustrations a 'top ten' feature from a subject of choice. The goal of this project was to keep the focus of the composition on the typography whilst exploring typographic systems for layout.
