Editorial Design, Compostition and Layout

This page from Zembla designed by Vince Frost is an example of design at a conceptual level, where it plays with scale and typographic symbols. I can relate to this piece of work with my poster for Manchester Literature Festival where even the most simplest transformations can create a big impact.
In my poster I used the bracket symbol to represent a book shape.

Here is the Spread I designed for the TED Magazine brief.




Even though I was happy with my spread, I still thought it could be made to look even more dynamic in its presentation. I think next time, a good inspiration for me would be Neville Brody. I quote from Brody "Each design replaces harmony with a vital edginess, but remains legible and accessible" (Editorial Design, 2007, page 107)
