While following the Master’s program at the Utrecht Graduate School of Visual Art and Design (maHKU),
Kate was asked to develop a design for two issues of the school’s biannual journal of artistic research,
published for an audience of both art professionals and art students.  A year later she was re-commissioned
to design the latest two issues.

 

The requirements were to maintain the basic design elements of the previous issues, namely black and white,
an A4-format, so one could print it out at home, and a one text-column layout, leaving room for readers to
write comments and notes in the margins. The typographic structure of the design enables this idea that readers
would interact with the text, and utilize the margins as their own notebook, referencing the text when necessary.
