DESCRIPTION
For this student project, we were asked to design a magazine using two articles: ‘Text’ by Ellen Lupton and ‘The importance of Environmental Graphic Design in urban spaces’ by Roula Ganoti and Iro Laskari. VECTOR is a publication that explores the different
design systems that are used to communicate information and navigate
the world around us. Issue 01, ‘From Point A to B’, showcases how road
signage uses minimalist graphic imagery to define and restrict our movement
within urban spaces.
The visual style
is a playful take on Swiss Design, whose key principles of simplicity, readability
and objectivity align with the design of road signage.
Issue 01 features a system of glyphs
that are used to assist the reader in navigating the text, which are
used throughout the body text and pull quotes.
