I received a brief to transcribe an interview from Type Radio on Bruce Connew and had to create two double page spreads ready for print on indesign. In his interview he discusses his experience with apartheid, war and politics. On the subject of politics he states that 'not everything is black and white', which I thought would be an interesting avenue to explore visually. This is the result of much experimentation with editorial illustration, layouts, grids and colour. Every character in the header is ever so slightly under or over the baseline grid, which originally was developed after a mistake I made during a critique half way through the project. I think it adds character and makes a slightly rebellious statement whilst not being completely off the wall, not unlike the subject matter of the article.
