Examples of Type and layout

Following on from Graham's type sessions one of the points I took away from his tips was you don't have to increase pt size in headings and so on, to add attention but instead use type settings such as weights/upper/lowercase thoughtfully. I've found some pretty cool examples of the thoughtful approach of type in terms of layout and use.

 I thought I'd post up a collection of examples of work which in my opinion handle type and layout very well and effectively.

I think the type and grid layout in this works very well, I think there's a nice balance between headings, areas of focus and also the body copy throughout is consistent and well thought out. It flows nicely and your eye knows where to look.

Also in terms of stock I really like his use of different coloured stocks and using their natural colours to his advantage. The whole print could easily be done with a one colour ink + tints if he wanted to which is efficient and clever.
