Type and Design

A new semester calls for new blog posts!
This was our first assignment for GRA3202 (Type and Design). We had to choose 3 magazine/newspaper articles with different typographical layouts and dissect the designs into simple
rectangles and shapes.
I used Photoshop and placed the original article on the left, and the "dissected" version on the right.

Objective:
To understand the principles of layout
design through the reverse engineering
of current graphic design. Using simple
shapes you will create a visual layout to
its purest form. Your final layout should
only contain black and white shapes.
