Let’s say you want to set a two column page. How should the paragraphs work to make it interesting? The winter 2025 issue of Dazed offers some ideas. First off, bold the questions, then indent the answers. Then, indent both speakers, but place a bolded initial for each, like a bullet. Then, fine, add a…

I like Wallpaper* a lot. I’ll have more to say about the magazine in future issues. For this one, I want to just focus on Header hierarchy. Designer of the year is in gray, Willo Perron in black.

Vanity Fair garnered a lot of attention for the White House feature in this issue. Everyone has seen the photography and some may have even read the story; I’m fascinated by the spatial logic. Most of the images take up 100% of the page, but not all. Take this one. The Leavitt photo takes up…

Popeye 946’s cover features a collage of over thirty people, accented with white hand-drawn doodles. This is a fun time. Even the table of contents is having a good time. Look at that header break for the feature, with all the city names feeling like luggage tags. Don’t ever let anyone tell you a TOC…

Brutus #1045 is about bibliophiles, some pleasant tourism into the world of personal libraries. Physical media as far as the eye can see. This presents a unique layout challenge: how do you visually organize someone else’s library? The magazine uses various strategies to solve this. Sometimes they display just a few select titles, creating a…
