Editoral Layouts
Editoral Layouts
A collection of layout explorations and published editorial work, where typography, grid, and image come together to shape how a story is read.
Unnamed Icon
An independent editorial exercise exploring layout systems through the story of designer Martin Margiela. The project involved researching content and curating imagery to build a visual narrative, with a focus on grid structure, the relationship between text and image, and the use of negative space to guide pacing across the spread.
Role: Content research, image curation, layout design
Tools: InDesign, Photoshop
Goal: Explore grid systems, text-image relationships, and negative space as tools for editorial pacing
Outcome: Sharpened a personal approach to pairing archival imagery with typographic structure
Form & Illumination
A printed product catalog for a lighting brand, showcasing each fixture alongside its technical specifications dimensions, finishes, materials, and voltage. The layout balances bold typographic numbering and product names with clean technical diagrams, creating a system that's both visually strong and functional for sales use.
Role: Editorial design, art direction
Tools: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
Goal: Present a product catalog with detailed technical specifications for each lighting piece
Result: Printed and used as a sales tool
Wandering Layouts
An early layout exploration for a thesis on tourism, testing a bolder visual direction color blocking, looser grids, and more graphic elements than the final piece. It served as a way to push the range of the project's visual language before narrowing down to a final direction.
Role: Editorial design, art direction
Tools: InDesign, Photoshop
Goal: Explore a freer, more colorful layout system as an alternative direction for the thesis
Result: Remained an exploratory direction, informing the final printed design
Tourism, Distilled
The final printed direction for a thesis on tourism, prioritizing readability through a minimal design system clean typography, considered margins, and subtle chapter indicators guiding the reader through each section.
Role: Editorial design, art direction
Tools: InDesign, Photoshop
Goal: Prioritize readability through minimal design, exploring margins and navigational indicators
Result: Printed for a client's thesis defense/graduation requirement
The Obedient Type
An independent editorial exercise inspired by Paul Klee's work, exploring unconventional text orientation and rotation across the page. The layout treats typography as a visual element in itself flipped, angled, and paired with Klee's imagery to create a reading experience that mirrors the artist's own playful abstraction.
Role: Layout design
Tools: Photoshop
Goal: Explore text orientation and rotation as compositional tools
Result: A considered pairing of image and text, with careful attention to typeface selection
