The March 2026 issue of Casa Brutus is all about making a new coffee shop. So how do they make that layout interesting?
Because Brutus values clarity, they deliver an index up front that tells you exactly where to find every coffee shop mentioned in the issue. And they use a nice clear pixel map.
You could fill entire catalogues with coffee shop products, but Brutus gives each page breathing room. This isn’t even close to everything, but you’re not overwhelmed.
This page showing off Mel Coffee is so inviting. It’s like you’re a customer coming in. There are no text frames, just white text overtop areas of the photo where it works.
Finally, I love this composition. Two two-column text boxes, underscoring a great photo showing the layers this shelving creates in the shop.
