Two Texts

Editorial Design

OVERVIEW

In this project, I designed two printed editions of James Langdon’s essay Observations From a Fixed Position. The goal was to explore how different levels of creative control could shape the reading experience.

SUMMARY

About this project

The first edition fully embraced creative freedom—using expressive layouts, visual interpretation, and experimental typographic decisions. In contrast, the second edition intentionally minimized creative involvement, reducing the design to its most essential and neutral form. Through these two approaches, I was able to examine how design choices influence the tone, clarity, and overall impact of the same text.
