Another zine layout
for a poet
Edmonton, AB
40Land was an exercise in matching the print to the authors’ pre-defined style while still integrating new requests such as the monochromatic photos. Because my work for this author is less than traditional, I chose to keep the print style for unity but interrupt each segment with a photo, following the slow grid-break of text following the new element.

This series used Acumin and Variable Minion Concepts for typefaces in just about every variant, from light italic to semi-condensed black for the heading.

This is a collection of reality
A highly gridded layout was needed for brand consistency, so I drew inspiration from both recipe layouts and Walmart receipts. The photo manipulation was inspired by a scanner mistake seen on one of these receipts.

Mild astigmatism in your right eye
Mirroring the effects of an astigmatism, this layout has repetitions, overlaps, and a strange left-rag. Because all elements are diagonally balanced, I found a rhythm with this layout.

Bread
This poem was the inspiration behind the recipe layout, based on the title as well as the amount of written numbers within the poem itself.
