EDITORIAL SPREAD

17th October 2017

The amount of content included in the publication magazines demand strict guidelines and rules for the use of typog-
raphy and layout. The success of these publications depends on clear communication and consist story telling, both
of which demand rigorous applications of grid layouts and the establishment of visual hierarchies in order to keep
readers entertained while they consume the content.
