"Voices Will Be Read" is a curated collection of three thought-provoking articles, including Roland Barthes' The World of Wrestling, alongside two complementary pieces. These essays examine different perspectives on media, culture, and interpretation, offering readers a deeper understanding of how narratives shape our world. This newspaper was designed as a visual and editorial extension of the book, using typography, layout, and structure to enhance the reading experience while maintaining a bold yet accessible aesthetic.
Newspaper
This newspaper is a visual and conceptual exploration of how information is presented, consumed, and interpreted. I designed it to emphasize the power of media, the role of facts and opinions, and the reader’s ability to choose what to believe. Throughout the layout, I incorporated carefully selected quotes in large typography to immediately draw the viewer's attention to key ideas, reinforcing the importance of critical thinking in media consumption.
The color palette—a mix of yellow, brown, and dark blue—strikes a balance between old-world print traditions and modern design, creating a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic. The structured rectangular shapes serve as both visual dividers and symbolic representations of order and structure in journalism, guiding the reader’s focus while also subtly reflecting the way information is organized in the media.
Beyond aesthetics, this newspaper integrates crafted data on press history and facts, highlighting how print media has evolved and remains relevant. The design reflects a key message: voices exist everywhere, but it’s up to us to decide what we listen to and what we challenge. Through this piece, I encourage viewers to consider the impact of media, the accessibility of information, and the power they hold in shaping their own perspectives.
Grid Structure
The magazine layout follows a 12.4 mm margin on all sides—top, bottom, inside, and outside—creating a balanced and structured composition. The design is based on a four-column grid with a 5mm gutter, ensuring a clean and readable text flow. The magazine consists of eight pages, carefully arranged to maintain consistency and visual harmony throughout.
Book
This book extends the Voices Will Be Read newspaper, exploring media, culture, and the distinction between fact and opinion. Like the newspaper, it features "Press Facts" as a historical timeline, reinforcing the evolution of print media. Large pull quotes highlight key themes, while a consistent yellow, brown, and dark blue palette blends tradition with modernity. Rectangular motifs symbolize structured thought, reflecting how media shapes perception. This design challenges readers to critically engage with information, emphasizing the power of choice in what we believe and amplify.
Grid Structure
The book layout follows a 0.5-inch margin on all sides—top, bottom, inside, and outside—creating a balanced and structured reading experience. A six-column grid with a 0.3125-inch gutter was used to ensure clear text alignment and flexibility in design. The final book consists of 46 pages, thoughtfully arranged to maintain consistency, readability, and visual hierarchy throughout.
Crafted Data
The timeline data comes from Visual Loop by Flávia Marinho, titled PRESS FACTS, which explores the evolution of communication and the spread of information worldwide. Integrated throughout the book, the timeline provides a visually engaging way for readers to trace key milestones in print history. By following the timeline, viewers can see how publishing has advanced over time, reinforcing the book’s theme of media evolution and the power of information.
