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.
