From Medical Student to Master Calligrapher

This magazine spread uses a distinct grid structure to display what an Edward Johnston feature article would look like in The Face magazine.

In order to create this spread and cover, I traced a grid structure from an actual The Face magazine which I then brought into InDesign and translated into a digitized, usable grid for my own magazine spread. It uses colors inspired by Johnston's most well-known contribution: the London Underground Transportation typography and logo. It uses directional elements such as lines and blocks of color to allude to the theme of travel.

Here you can see The Face magazine grid structure created in InDesign, used as the foundation of the finished design.
