The grid project

Research and design project
2009

This series of posters were the result of research into the rules of the typographic grid and the ideas behind deconstructivism in graphic design. Specific main ideas in Josef Müller-Brockmann modernist manifesto were paired with each of their relating opposition from deconstructivism, forming illustrations explaining the relation between two counterparts. The design took starting point in the grid used for Josef Müller-Brockmanns book 'Grid systems in graphic design'.
