Description

This project highlights how I applied key layout and typography principles to bring a modular, five-column grid to life. I selected and arranged stories, imagery, and promotional elements to create a cohesive front page that captured the essence of each piece while maintaining visual balance and consistency throughout.

What began as a daunting task—designing within such a large-format layout—quickly became one of my most rewarding projects. I took the lead on aligning elements, setting paragraph and headline styles, and refining spacing and hierarchy to ensure clarity and flow.

Through this process, I strengthened my technical precision and creative decision-making, gaining real confidence in both design execution and collaborative teamwork. The final result reflects my attention to detail and my ability to turn structure into storytelling.
