I designed a museum catalog of street photography from different artists whose work envelopes the viewer in point of observing people in their natural routine. I went with a minimal design, and typography that will inform the reader, while allowing the images to shine in their own respects.
Audience
Photographers
People interested in how a living subject may interact with the camera.
This exhibit may catch the eye of those beginning in photography.
Why Read?
The intention is to showcase the many different ways a photographer can use their power of observation to create visually interesting photographs by simply going outside. The reader will learn different ways of observing the natural world around them without disturbing it; hopefully they will have a new eye for the beauty in the world around them.
Feel/Think/Learn
The viewer will feel curious about the different settings/scenarios depicted.
The reader should think of techniques, and aesthetics they can emulate to achieve the results of the exemplified photographers.
The reader will learn a new appreciation for the power of observation, and make connections to this skill in their daily lives.

Type Tests
'MD nichrome' was light and didn't draw too much attention to itself. The shapes of 'Miller Text Roman' were proper expressive, and with an adjustment to the leading gave a great contrast to the ridgid display font.
Grid System
The 12x8 Grid made way for a lot of freedom with placement and associations between left and right page.
I used the first gridline at the top as a rule for placement, and Images were placed on this rule while keeping their maximum effective size to maintain visual interest.
