Grids and Typographic Hierarchy

One of our first brief’s this term was to create a layout and grid system to use with all our previous years workbooks, including the possibility of using it for this years work also. Here are a few of the spreads I’ve come up with.

I’ve created a 6 x 6 grid system to work with, and begun to work with Bookman Old Style as the heading typeface, whilst using Interstate Light for the body text.

I think these two typefaces compliment each other nicely.

This is all aligned to a baseline grid for overall unity.

Ultimately this will, by the end of the year hold a complete retrospective of all my four years of Graphic Design at University.
