T3 (2025) → Tate Etc. Editorial Practice
This project explores editorial typography through the redesign of selected texts from Tate Etc., focusing on how layout decisions shape the reading experience.Working with pre-existing images and written content, I investigated how typography can operate as a structural system—organising information, guiding attention, and supporting narrative flow rather than competing with it. Through a series of layout experiments, I tested how text could adapt to images, follow irregular shapes, and interact with blocks, angles, and spatial constraints.A key realisation emerged during the process: excessive visual contrast can weaken the depth of content. Instead, effective editorial design requires a balance between clarity and expression—where hierarchy, rhythm, and pacing allow the reader to move smoothly through the page.
The project also involved practical considerations such as pagination planning, time management, and consistency across spreads. Constraints like text length and alignment were used deliberately to refine readability and visual harmony.
This work marks an important step in developing a more rational and responsive approach to typography—one that integrates content logic with visual composition, and treats layout as a medium for thinking, not just styling.
