Graphic Layout




As you are now nearing the end of the research work you should begin to finalize your material and compose it within the required A1 board format. Test print portions of your boards at regular intervals in order to test your colours, lineweights, text size, image size and resolution, etc.

For inspiration you can have  look at this short intro to fundamental principles of graphic layout. You can also have a look at the work of Swedish typographer Marcus Gärde. And for graphic layouts dealing with architecture and design, there is the Dutch graphic designer Joost Grootens (his new site, old site, and in particular his atlases) as well as the influential body of work of Lars Müller Publishers.
