[ 2022 ]

  • Design 6 layouts in total:

    • 5 x layouts using 8-pt type only

    • 1 x layout that introduces one additional size of type.

    • Use the same underlying grid

    • Use a Swiss typeface

    • Use only one typeface and one weight/font in all cases

  • Focus was set to achieving strong hierarchy despite only using 8-pt type. Meanwhile, various sizes of white space were introduced to enhance the use of proximity. This ensures the eye is led correctly across each page.

    • Enhanced understanding of Swiss grid layouts and how to achieve a unique take on the style.
