Typography and Graphics - Katie Grand Article

Layout & Art Direction: Fraser Moodie

Interview & Words: Lynn Barber

My first editorial/layout from Typography & Graphics module called “The Icons of Style” for a September issue. I got Katie Grand article from The Guardian named "Why Katie Grand is the Most Wanted Woman in Fashion". So furthering my research into Katie I focused on her personality trying to get it across in my layout– the transition from Geek to Cool. As she talked about in the interview how she was a geek and always wanted to be cool. So with looking at this along with her crazy work schedule including her kind of hording of magazines & clothes and mixed with origination of her items.

"I was always really nerdy and then kind of overnight can remember thinking clearly I just want to be cool"

My 6spreads & poster I used boxed with 2bold lines with a small gap representing a place for all of her stacking of magazines magazines – dots I looked at architecture prints for the connection of buildings including ikea furniture guides. Stationary for in her offices for POP magazine (that she is Editor-in-Chief of) TO DO lists and clipboards as she is organized but still unorganized at the same time but a work a holic – handing onto the geek part of her life. The rag is mixed to balance the two sides of her just like the left and right side of the brain.
