BLACK AND WHITE ALL OVER

BLACK AND WHITE ALL OVER

Black and White All Over: Poetry and Desolation Painting is presented through a bold, contrast-driven typographic design. The opening spread uses stark black and white fields to echo the essay’s title and urban tone. Across the spreads, titles and body text are arranged to resemble city buildings, creating an architectural layout inspired by graffiti and street art.

The design prioritizes clarity and visual rhythm, balancing dense text with open space to guide the reader through each spread. Scale, alignment, and hierarchy are used to create movement across the page, allowing the layout to feel grounded while still dynamic at the same time.
