Studio Glass
Magazine Layout Design
CLASS: Typography I
For this project, the task was to create a magazine spread using an open source article, and
make the article more visually engaging using photography and effective typography. The article
I chose is an article about studio glass, found on Wikipedia. Using a strong typographic hierarchy,
engaging photographs and colors, and a background that mimics stained glass, I created a magazine
spread that invites readers in and gives them immediate visual information about what the article
contains. I created the layout using a grid, but made sure to place elements in a way that they almost
feel randomly placed, similar to the pieces of a pile of broken glass.
