A 28-page catalog provides an attractive synthesis of text and images in a simple, rectangular format. We like how the underlying design structure of rectangles make it easy to blend different elements into a uniform whole. This 12-page article from issue 46 of Before&After Magazine uses a catalog motif that is simple, handsome, and versatile..
Inside, the catalog is designed in two levels, one to browse and one to read. A big photo and a short block of big type are for browsing. Regular text columns are for detailed reading. Massive black sets the visual theme.
