Suburban Curio: Exploring the Grid
Role: Art Director & Typographer
Tools: Gemini 3.1, Topaz Bloom, Adobe Illustrator
Deliverables: Conceptual Editorial Layouts
Project Overview: A conceptual editorial article designed to test how highly experimental, surreal imagery can be elevated into a high-end editorial format using the International Typographic (Swiss) Style.
The Strategy & Execution: To ground the avant-garde visual concepts, the layout required uncompromising structural discipline. The execution relied entirely on a rigorous 6-column grid system. By mathematically enforcing asymmetrical margins, strict baseline alignments, and the deliberate use of heavy negative space, the underlying architecture imposes order on the fluid imagery, proving that radical art can be contained within highly functional, readable design systems.
