Monocle
A partnered project for my Junior year Typography class. The assignment was to pick a magazine, and create our own booklet analyzing the typography, grid system, photography and other elements that are used to make each magazine unique and special. We choose the British publication "Monocle". It proved to be a big challenge as they tended to never stick to any initially apparent concrete rules across or within publications. Still, this project was loads of fun to work on and was very insightful for me.
This project could not of been done without the help of my project partner, Ben Markoch, please take a look at his amazing work as well! * http://benmarkoch.com/ *
For our cover we decided on going for a highly illustrative style, that kept with the flat, clean illustrations that exist within "Monocle".
Taxonomy Map charted out the individual elements of the magazine. Such elements ranged in size from whole spread layouts, to specific type roles, to how photography fit into the spreads.
Monocle operated on multiple platforms, both digital and print. These spreads were devoted to breaking down the grid systems of these platforms.
