Print & Layout Design

Using a strong typographic foundation to engage and guide the reader through the content.

Overview

To build a solid foundation in typography, I created a typographic handbook for my class, covering fundamental rules and extending into more creative explorations of compostion and hierarchy.

The Takeaway

I learned that when designing a layout, typography comes first. Whether or not imagery is included, establishing typographic hierarchy, thoughtful type pairing, and effective use of white space are essential for strong composition.
