How do you design a nice layout? How do you design a good magazine spread? How do you design typography over a page? What makes for good type, layout, and design?
The principles of typography and design are discussed in the second part of Chris Do’s review and art direction of graphic designer, Minhye Cho.
In this Futur classic episode, Chris review’s Min’s work on The Futur’s upcoming magazine. Here he sheds light on his process while critiquing the work of Minhye Cho, an amazing graphic designer at The Futur, who is working on the layout. Chris goes in depth with regards to typography and how the print process will affect final costs and the quality (both objective and perceived) of the printed publication.
