publication design

the brief

This brief required the typesetting of the article ‘Should Designers Take Responsibility for the Ethics of their Clients?’ by James Cartwright (2017). The outcome was to be a small, printed publication of our formatted choice.

The publication was to possess creativity, craft, and communication, merging usability with conceptual link to the article.

My concept was to communicate the article’s focus, which debated the ethical tensions of designers, to its target audience of designers themselves. My publication follows a simple yet effective booklet style format, presenting as a legible, letter-like read. Certain design choices made to produce the outcome aimed to link to the ideas of ethics as a designer, particularly my use of recycled paper, and the simple binding technique used to secure my publication. To reduce resource usage, my publication has concise page use, and no envelope.
